Running lights (headlight, tail light, etc.) fail due to front fender tip light wiring rubbing on front tire, causing fuse to blow because of bare wires grounding out. there was a recall done on this bike before I picked it up at the dealers when it was new. this quick fix that harley davidson has done for their recall does not work. I have talked to other owners of 2001 and 2002 flht and flhtc models who have had the recalls done and have had the same problem. I talked with the dealer and decided not to have them fix this problem. I instead disconnected the wiring harness for this light and have removed it. this IS a very dangerous problem at night and I refuse to have this happen again, since they could not make it work with the first recall attempt. *la
