My 2002 road king flhri intermittently looses all power while in use just as described in 04v-134. There is no warning and no apparent cause and there may be hundreds of mile between occurrences or minutes. I reported this during my last maintenance visit and it has occurred twice since. This model was not listed in the recall.
