I have read the self help section and now want some advice from those with RoadGlides who have done this procedure themselves.
As far as I can tell I am doing everything according to the manual. Bike is off the ground and level, pinch bolts are loosened, fork nut is loose, nothing is obstructing the swing, and I have made the 16" rod with the bend in the end to adjust the star nut.
Here is the problem. I can get the fallaway to the proper spec. (Start at left, swing right, swing left, swing partial right and stop). However, as soon as I torque (70ft lbs) (spec is 60-80 in book) the top nut it negates the fallaway. Book says to repeat until proper spec. achieved.
Definition of insanity (performing the same action repeatedly with the same result and expecting a different result to occur). This is how I feel.
Any advice?
