If you could tell Harley engineers to fix something what would it be?

My list is similar to others, and based on my 09 UC:

Fix the crap crank-- we'll pay a bit more for this one for sure!;
tyre filler valves suck-- surely this is a simple fix;
a suspension that doesn't bottom out or try to buck you off with rebound;
linked brakes that you can activate as desired;
Get rid of the AM CB radio and put in a UHF 2 way. I've had my UC since September 09 and can't get a radio check as hardly anyone uses AM CB downunder;
I like the idea of a single sided swing arm but the engineering issues would be massive...

and a small one but desirable to me:
make the HK radio front the same colour as the gauge lights (or better yet, give us built in switchable colour options and put a freaking dimmer switch so the gauges can be read at twilight....

I'll gimp back over to my box now....
 
I'd say engineer their parts prices a little lower. $30 for a set of 2 inch mirror extensions, for crying out loud. Musta took some serious engineering to figure those out, at that price.
 
OK...I gotta laugh this one outta here...this guy's busting on "internet badassery"....and his interests listed in his profile include world of warcarft...LMFAO!!! He also has a super macho job...some kinda geeky web developer. As far as Texas goes...the bigest thing there is your ego dude....which is prolly an attempt to over compensate for mustard seed balls Now go clock 20 hours as a nymph on the 27th level of W.O.W. and lose the "reverse internet badass syndrome" Your just too damn funny

Any of you guys that have been around for a while may remember the old HD ads. One used to say if you need all the comforts of home, maybe you should stay there. I have more creature comforts on my 04 Ultra than I ever imagined would have. To the guys that want water cooled, go buy one. Leave mine alone. I have issues with my bikes as well. As with anything with tits or wheels. My problems with the MC are the cam bearings and the rotating assy. Not that some of the other issues don't need correcting. JMHO
 
Yeah, that !.... so you can also half ass check how dirty it is at the same time. Kind of a pain with the old inspection cover, always needed to get a new gasket. Not that big a deal, but why did they take it away ?. Never thought about a dipstick before, Geat idea !
