It wasn’t seven. It was two flags, and they’re 3x5’, not “huge”. And since Harley specifically sells mount kits to create this exact configuration, they’re talking out of both sides of their mouth. Not to mention, the bike in question is less than 6 months old (bought March 2014).
I still stand by my previous post. Other forums I have read said he has seven large flags. The size you would fly on a flagpole, not 3X5. Either the clutch has a manufacturing defect or it doesn’t. If he wore it out prematurely by having excess weight or drag, it’s not a defect. In my experience, clutch failures are mainly the result of abuse of some kind. Usually cop bikes used in parades and other extremely slow riding. Seven large flags could also stress the clutch beyond it’s design.
