Oil coolers
Riding home last week my oil cooler fell off! That's right, fell off! The system connecting the cooler to the front cylinder is not a great design. The bolt does not go right through both washers to squeeze the rubber mount as you might expect; rather, from the outside one bolt connects the oil cooler to the rubber grommet. The grommet is glued to a flat "washer" which doubles as a bolt into the cylinder mount. The rubber on both sides simply came apart from the "washer".
10K miles on mine. If you have a sportsclassic, keep an eye on these. Not a major issue, but I don't like having to park the bike for 2 or 3 weeks waiting for the parts (about $7 each side)
