    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 ...

  • Road trip
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 17, 2012

    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.
