Risk Description
This product poses a serious risk of injuries because these motorcycles were built with voltage regulator, P/N 74546-07 that, as a result of a greater body thickness than used in previous model years, may contact the front fender under certain conditions. In some cases this contact may allow the front fender to catch on the topside of the regulator body, which could impede the operator’s ability to steer the motorcycle. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider.
