Unknown or Other · at 12,000 miles · reported Jan 31, 2012
In may 2010 I noted three broken spokes in the rear wheel while on vacation in arkansas. Since that time three more spokes have broken for a total of six. These have been found individually, as I now inspect the rear wheel frequently. The motorcycle now has 23,000 miles on it. I have been riding for 35 years, over a million miles and 30 different motorcycles over that time, many with spoke wheels and have never had a spoke break. Research on the web now reveals that this is common on the bonnevilles, especially on the 17" rear wheel. I also see this complaint is already registered with NHTSA.…

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 45 MPH in the rain, the instrument panel on the motorcycle became clouded over with condensation. The motorcycle was taken to a service dealer, who determined that the cloudiness was due to the way the motorcycle was being operated. The manufacturer was also notified.
