The main bolt to my kickstand has decided to leave. And I can't find what size it was. HELP!!! 2005 Fat Boy.

Never mind. Found it on another thread.

 

My question is....how did it fall out?

 

They get loose. I posted on a 20K service thread about mine being way less than snug. A bunch of other folks seem to have the same problem when they checked.

 

I hear ya'. best i check mine...or better yet, R&R with some loctite blue.(Harley's best friend)...*s

 

Yup, fell out. straight up and out. Just tightened it a few months ago. Guess all that riding shook it loose again.

 

I recently changed the spring on my stand and found that the my tab bolt was loose also. I cleaned out the threads with some C&C cleaner, dried it out and put on some Locktite. That outta hold it.
