Greetings to all of you,
I just became a happy and proud owner of a brand new Softail classic, rides like a cloud, no vibration, easy and predictable handling and very comfortable.
Apart from a spongy front brake, for which I read already a few suggestions herein on an existing thread, I discovered that when I hold the lower part of the rear fender, below the tail light, I can displace it left and right a good inch or so, and the whole tail light turn signal cluster, saddle bags and rails holding the pillion backrest move altogether ! All the bolts and screws seem tightened properly ... Any ideas, is this normal or should I remove the seat and recheck thoroughly all the fastenings and bolts of the rear subframe ?
I don't believe the frame is cracked, the bike has 30 miles on the clock just got out of the dealership ...
Many thanks in advance,
Happy riding
