I PURCHASED THIS BIKE IN JAN. 2018 AND FOUND OUT THAT WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS AT NIGHT ON A DARK ROAD I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE THROUGH A TURN. NOT EVEN ABLE TO SEE THE LINE ON THE INSIDE OF TURN DUE TO THE LEAN ANGLE A BIKE HAS COMPARED TO A CAR WHERE THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED HARLEY DAVIDSON COMPANY 2 TIMES AND THEY NOTED THE CONCERN WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE HAD THE BIKE TO 2 SEPERATE DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO RESOLUTION FOR THE CONCERN. BOTH DEALERSHIPS MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONCERN AND RECOMMENDED BUYING MORE LIGHTS FOR THE BIKE. SPENDING MORE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT A SOLUTION TO ME. MY CONCERN HAS NOT BECOME AN ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME BUT WHEN RIDING A BIKE I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU AFTERWARDS.
