Softail Clunking Front End - 881 days old
This is a subject that a great number of people have been experiencing lately. HD has upped the torque specs for the later models from 35 FT/LBS to 100 FT/LBS. It may not be posted correctly in your owners manual.

Best done with an extra set of hands. After they are in position and... Read more

Jiffy Stand Stop - 41 days old
Some have posted about the bike moving excessively when using the jiffy stand. They will tend to creep a bit when the weight is applied to the stand especially when on irregular surfaces such as an incline.

Dyna Forward Controlls - 686 days old

The 06/07 are the same, and the 06/07 kit includes a plug to insert after you remove the shaft. It is a little easier on the pre-2006 model year Dynas.
The 05 and earlier comes with a shaft cover and a bracket to bolt down... Read more
