'73 (AMF) Ironhead Sportster.
Right foot shift led to occasional operator error.
Weird 'trons led to the bike dying. Found 3 shorts in the center tube for the Eng Cut Off switch.
Rewired the whole thing.
Then everything else with a wire started failing because it was suddenly getting voltage.
Got that all sorted. Bike ran fine.
Sold it to a collector who was going to restore it.
He called me a week later and wanted to know my "unique color coding" for the new wire I installed.
I had to email it to him, as all of the colors were different.
He then explained to me, in very UN-Christian terms, that I should have disclosed this anomaly at the time of the sale and he wanted some $$$ consideration.
I told him that that thought never even occurred to me as the bike was running fine and if he wanted any money he could come back to my house and we could talk about it.
He hasn't shown yet.....been a year now.
Bike wasn't really a POS, it was almost 30 years old when I bought it and 40 years old when I sold it. It was just temperamental and screaming for some TLC.

Victory Cross Roads. Nothing but problems and the dealer was useless too. Modern bikes shouldn't come standard with oil leaks and electrical issues.

Out of 9 Harleys, 9 customs, 2 Triumphs, 2 Suzukis, 2 Buells, 2 Hondas, 1 each Aprillia, Victory and Norton the only bikes that I have had that qualify for POS status are 2 BMWs.

2006 K1200S terrible cold stalling and final drive failure at 45,000 miles

2007 K1200GT continually stalled out at random and at 88,000 miles catastrophic cam chain failure resulting in bent valves and head damage ($13,000 repair picked up by an aftermarket extended warranty company)

I was a Beta tester for over engineered machinery which is why I landed on the proven GL1800 platform!

2000 ultra classic. My 5 Harley's before that were OK. Can you say Magnelli Morelli? Those who have owned one know what I am talking about.

Had a love hate relationship with a 1975 Norton 850 Commando. Loved to ride it, I was in my late teens, but what a POS. Every 100 miles or so I had to tighten crap up. Depending on the weather it would run like a bear or crawl like a slug. Wish I still had it though, she sure was pretty.

Yep, that too

I had a 1999 Harley Davidson Electra-glide with FI problems and a serious electrical issue.
It was to become a custom trike project and proved to be a bad candidate.

Yep! That would be the Maggot McNelli EFI. Never seen an HD mechanic that had a positive thing to say about it. My choices was to upgrade to the Delphi or convert to a carb. Both options were close to 2 K each on a bike worth about 6.5K.
