I am an attorney in 2 cases where 2003 models of harley davidson motorcycles, being driven just a few miles away from the dealers after purchase, suffered catastrophic failures of the front forks. One rider died, and the other suffered severe injury. Porosity of the fork appears to have been a substantial factor of the failures.
