Damn!!!!! I'm sorry for not replying to all my brothers out there who took their time to show they care about the cause. The shimmy!!! It's true a service manual is needed no doubt! and will get one soon...
But, where's what I did... first of all I'm about half computer literate, so that's why it's taken soooooo long to reply. I didn't even know anyone replied until today! DA....
I called around about the triple tree adjustment and received a diff answer on each call... Three Harley dealers, Smoky Mountain HD in Maryville TN, where I bought the bike. Walter Brother HD in Peoria Illinois, where I temp live now. Those boys don't have a clue!, and two other dealers in central Illinois.
I called a place called Integ in Illinois. They asked how many miles on the front tire??? I said 23,400...... DAMNNNNN... said that's prob the problem.
$302.00 later, and lubed the front, I was down the road. Put on a dunlap HD tire... and tube..
well it appeared to have corrected most of it, but I looked at the rear tire Friday night and it looked low. I, like some others, don't keep my mind focused on the simple things.... like tire pressure!!! So I got out the ole pressure gauge.. You know the one.... Chrome about 6 inches long. Hit the valve stem....NOTHING....HMMM... Checked again....Nothing... checked the front tire 30 some pounds... ok the gauge works.....
put a bunch of air to it, about 42 lbs.....
Rode home about 10 miles in the dark and ran into a hail storm of may flies. Couldn't get the bike over 50mph as the flies were kick'n my ????
Rain all day Saturday, and just detailed it, so didn't get to ride.
But stupid me...
I know better... always check the tires first!! DA. The rear tire is the third tire, less than a year old, so I assumed.... it was good to go, then also I assumed that when the new front was put on......they'd check the AP in the rear... NEVER ASSUME...
I"ll take her out today.... and I can remember how to get back to the site.. I'll let ya'll know...
Many Thanks... Ride safe....Thank a Vet....Hug your dog...
