I own a 2008 diablo performance chopper that has a cracked frame located right under the gusset. I purchased the bike on 21 may 2008. Since then the bike has been in the shop for faulty charging system, sprocket screws broke in hub, broken motor mount, bad rear shocks, new ignition module, and the bike had one throttle cable when it should have had two so it resorted in throttle cable breaking twice since may of 2008. The above vehicle was not listed in the drop down menu. Please include in list.
