Some of the early Fathead Harley-Davidsons would burst into flames for 
what was apparently a variety of reasons. When they were introduced a 
couple of years ago there were several instances of people coming home 
from a ride, parking in their garage and then finding that their bike 
had caught on fire shortly after being parked. I also heard of several 
of them catching on fire while being ridden. Whatever the problems 
were, they seem to have addressed them, but it didn't look good at 
first.

Fathead)
