Default 2019 Deluxe

Test drove a 2019 Deluxe last weekend. At low speed like what you would have in city traffice it seemed like it didint want to turn especially to the left. Opinions guys neck bearings (11000 miles seems unlikely) or is something bent. This is a Harley dealer I asked if it had been wrecked they said no. Its a good deal but i dont want ot have to spend $1000 on a repair right out of the bucket

That’s kind of vague. Can you elaborate?

The handlebars became very reisistant to turning so much that you about fall over when your just sort of trying to maintain balance the more you lean the easier it becomes. its feels similar but more resistance than turning whenyou hav ea 280 or 320 rear tire. This has standard 16" tires like all my other bikes but it just doesnt want to turn. I dont think i can describe it more than that

Did you ask someone working at the dealership to ride it to see if they experienced the same issue? If not, that would be my suggestion.

I have a 18 heritage and had to change mine neck bearing out. There is a thread on it on this forum. I posted the pic of mine and I believe there was a couple more as well. Mine was ****ed.
