Voltage Regulator -- 3 months owned -- broke down TWICE

At 500 miles of owning a BEAUTIFUL 2012 CVO Road Glide, I also ended up on the side of the road. Check this out: Would you believe it happened AGAIn at 1920 miles during the 3rd month of ownership? That's 2 payments made, 2 hours on the side of the road awaiting a tow, on 2 occasions! What on ea...rth??? I was told that there's a bad inventory of regulators that went into production from 10/11 - 2/12 and my THIRD voltage regulator should be fine because it's from March 2012 stock. Attention HD: I'm taking this BEAUTIFUL lemon to four islands this Thursday 4/26/12 on a motor cruise. If I break down outside of the USA, Harley Davidson will either replace that bike or pick it up from one of the islands toured. Get it right HD!!!

Road trip

During a 400 mile road trip riding a 2012 Road glide custom with only 2500 miles on the odometer. Really disappointed after voltage regulator failed out in the middle of the desert from San Diego Ca to Phionex Az. I expected much better dependability. Read Full Review

Voltage Regulator

My 2012 roadglide custom has had the voltage regulator changed under warranty. 1st was recall but at 5,000 ish it started charging all funning 10 volts then 12 volts not at all. Alamo H-D in San Antonio replaced it. Second time I was at 2014 Texas State HOG Rally in Abilene TX. Left Concert and it ...quit charging all together. Stopped restarted couple times and it started charging call H-D and they were out of regulators. They changed 5 that week-end and had three bikes sitting waiting. Made it back to San Antonio and road it to work three more days and it stopped charging. Changed 2nd one at just over 25,000 miles. My 2 year warranty was up by one month and 1 yr 4 months after first one was changed. (1 yr warranty on part). I was pissed. I have 32,000 plus miles now and going to buy new bike but also looking at other manufacturers. Good luck riders Read Full Review

Voltage regulator

I own a 2012 Street Glide and also had to have the voltage regulator replaced at Barnett Harley Davidson dealership in because of a recall. As soon as I got the bike back I immediately noticed that the output on my amplifier of the radio was cutting off at half volume. I brought it to the service m...anagers attention but he insisted that there was NOTHING wrong with the new regulator and that it was a COINCIDENCE that the radio output failure occured while the bike was in their hands and that they would have to charge me to diagnose the problem. If there cannot be a problem with the new regulator, why did they have a recall and replace on the one they changed? Read Full Review
