I was reading MCN last night and they have a column for recalls. One of this month's recalls was from Harley-Davidson and it was for a WEAK REAR VIEW MIRROR STEM!!

It puts the Buell situation in a different perspective. HD will recall bikes for things that I would consider a non-issue, without being prompted by the government. KHI seems to need a threatened lawsuit to prompt them into a recall.

I have done the doohickeys in all three of the KLR's under my care and I think you missed my point. It's not that we've not fixed the problem, but it's that KHI can be so totally blaise about their responsibility for their shoddy workmanship. I want KHI to succeed, they make two of my favorite rides, but I am dissappointed when they clearly show no impetus to address their customers concerns and problems.
