The problem
On certain motorcycles, the front fender brackets could fail allowing the front fender to detach.
The risk
If this condition occurs, a crash could occur without any prior warning.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front fender brackets free of charge. (Big dog recalled certain bulldog motorcycles in may 2005. Big dog revised the repair instructions and is recalling all the 2005 bulldog motorcycles. If your motorcycle was repaired under the previous campaign, it will need to be remedied again.) The recall began on april 24, 2006. Owners may contact big dog at 316-267-9121.
