Default Side stand spring.

Is anyone else having trouble with spring coming off their Fat Bob? The original spring came off mine about 3 weeks after I bought the bike. Dealer installed a new one and it held on for about 4 weeks but came off today. Luckily it was in the driveway and I will be putting it back on tomorrow. Gonna have to figure out how to keep that thing on, it's starting to **** me off.

What year is your Fatbob? if its and o8 or 09 the following link shows there was a recall for the frame mount for the sidestand spring. You may want to have the dealer check your vin to see if this recall covers your bike.

Thanks for the heads up. Going to call the dealer and get the scoop.

Default Screamin Eagle Side Stand Spring

I know my local dealer was having problems with the side stand spring coming off of one of their Screamin' Eagle Models while just moving it around in the showroom, etc..
