Re: Steering Head Clunk
All softails except springers. Before you do anything, re torque the steering head bolt to specs which should take care of the clunk.
They upped the spec on this a while back, I use 70 FT LBS and it eliminates the clunk. Check your manual first to be sure they haven't changed it again. I believe they went to 100 FT LBS but I think that is a bit excessive and approaches the shear strength of the bolt too closely. That's why I went with 70, It used to be 40 FT LBS. |
