Just bought a used 08 Road King, and found out after the fact that the neck has a slight twist in it. Clearly my own fault for not catching it before hand....

Next step is a repair or complete replacement. I have the bike stripped down to the frame and motor/tranny.

Any reputable shops in the north east to give it a second opinion and maybe throw it on a jig??

thanks in advance and save the sarcasm

 

If the neck is twisted that has for sure stressed the backbone and the down tubes. I would look for a replacement frame. If it took a hard enough hit to move the neck which has quite a bit of reinforcement in that area I'm just wondering what else got knocked out of whack.

Even with a jig I think there would be a lot of labor involved to fix it right. Unless you want the opportunity to make a custom out of it with a change in the rake and stretch. Good luck on your project.

 

Thanks for your thoughts. I ended up doing just that


Upon further tear down, I found some paint flakes amd stress marks...frame is on the way

Thanks again!!
