I was riding my 2009 harley sportster in houston, texas at about 9am, and i heard a boom. I was only going about 30 mph, but i began to loose control. I regained control, and pulled over to the side, where i discovered oil all over my tire, and the ground around my bike. Then i discovered the boom i heard was actually my oil tank blowing at the seam. The oil tank is made of plastic, and its not broken, just separated at glue-plastic weld seam. I brought this to attention of harley davidson in wi. And was told to take it to hd dealership, at a cost of $300 to me. I did not have $300 to do this, so my oil tank it still ruined. Harley will not back up product, or even admit there is a problem. I was told by csr that it has never happened before, no documented cases, and yet there are hundreds.
