Alatamoc,, If I had that kind of problems with H.D. I would feel like you do, for sure. I can only speak to my own experience which has been just fine with my Harleys and Triumphs. I have bought 2 new Harley's and 3 used ones along with my Triumph America, all have been flawless. Just lucky I guess. P.S. Most of my friends ride Harley bikes and they seem happy with them. I bought the Triumph because it is lighter and I'm tired of just looking at the hoards of Harley's out there.
As my Beloved says
If it CAN go wrong on a bike, it WILL go wrong...on yours.
To be fair to HD 2 gearbox failures can't really be laid at their door....one had had a Lite Pull modification made to the clutch lifter which had been wrongly set up by the previous owner...and which gently milled itself away dropping it's swarf into the gearbox oil.
Another had been sold to me by an HD dealer....rode it 200 miles home to find it had no oil in the gearbox.....
Again many of my friends ride HDs and are happy ...but I also note these don't seem to ride that far or that often and usually make a steady progress at about 65 mph.
Each to their own
I took the Road Less Travelled.
Now where the ****** am I?
