The risk
Due to a failure in the rear shock absorbers and rear suspension (Softail), the screw connection of the shock absorption adjuster could break and touch the tyre, which can suddenly lose air, creating a risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
