Warrenty repair work today
Took my Street Bob back to the dealer today to get the steering stem nut and washer replaced today. Had to wait for 1 1/2 hours for it to be finished. So far, no noise on the bumps. On a side note, dealer had a Crossbones bike in the showroom. The "sold" sign was hanging on it and it was behind a barricade so nobody could sit on it. As for me , not sure if I like it or not.

RE: Warrenty repair work today
I ordered my washer the other day. I figured it would be easier to do it myself rather than argue with the service writer about it and then waiting half a dayfor them to doit.
The wires hangingoff the handlebars on that Crossbones isa real piece of work.

No problem with the service writer. Just mentioned the service bulliten M-1215 and no service charges involved. Free parts and labor.

Can't find the post by Impala, trying to remember, not an easy thing to do. All the Dyna series, V-rods and a few others. Take the bulliten number M-1215 and call your dealer. If they are any good, they will have a copy at the service desk. They will be able to answer any questions.

An hour and a half? You got off lucky. I dropped mine off on a Wednesday and didn't get it back till Friday. I swear the clunk was worse than when I dropped it off. I checked out the Fork stem nut and it was way over torqued. I loosened the nut and torqued it to 70 lbs (per the $5 instructions). Haven't ridden it since but I'm hoping it will fix the problem.

So after having the stem nut washer service bulletin / fix installed my front end was looser then before the new stem nut washer was installed. I took my bike to another dealer for my dyno tune and when he was giving the bike a test ride he noticed the same front end looseness / clunk. He adjusted the Steering Head bearing fall away and said my rear wheel was also out of alignment and fixed that too. Problem solved! The tech also recommended 34lbs of pressure in the front tire and between 38 and 40 lbs in the rear tire to eliminate wallowing in the corners.
I just wanted to post this solution for anyone else that might have trouble with the front end of their Street Bob or Dyna.
