I OWN A 2006 SUZUKI BOULEVARD C50 MOTORCYCLE. CRACKS DEVELOPED ON FRONT WHEEL HUB. REPORTED CRACKS TO DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2007. FACTORY STATED THEY WERE CASTING "IMPERFECTIONS". I SAY THESE ARE CRACKS, THEY CONTINUED TO GROW. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP IN DECEMBER OF 2007 THAT THE "IMPERFECTIONS" WERE GROWING LONGER AND WIDER. FACTORY CONTINUED TO CLAIM THEM NOT OF A SAFETY CONCERN. NEITHER DEALERSHIP OR FACTORY ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RESULTS FROM THE FACTORY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE WHEELS. *TR
