NEW 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXSTB WITH EXCESSIVE HEAT. UNBEARABLE ON WARM DAYS. ALSO A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE HIGH HEAT IS NOT ONLY DAMAGING THE MOTOR IT MORE IMPORTANTLY DAMAGES THE RIDER AND PASSENGER. THE FIX OFFERED BY HARLEY IS TO BUY $1500 OF UPGRADES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ONLY A RECALL CAN FIX, IT IS NOT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FOOT THE BILL TO FIX A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *JB
