Default Loose headlight
Does any one else have a loose headlight? My 08 street bob headlight moves a lot. It moves at the rivets, not the mounting bolt. Could this be a warranty issue?

Its best just to fix the one you have as they will continue to vibrate apart until they're no longer under warranty, at which point you'll end up having to fix it anyhow.

If you dont want to deal with the dealer you can just drill the rivets and replace them with a couple screws and ny-loc nuts. Stainless steel pop rivets would work well too. I wouldn't trust aluminum.

i never really liked the look of the stock headlight... maybe they can give you an instore credit on the light of your choice or something? im bias towards the fatboy (7" headlight) myself.
