Have you tried just shimmying the front end while you turn the key? The lock doesn't always line up perfectly. I have to do that on my WG sometimes.

 

I have the same problem with my '09 Street Bob, and the dealer told me that Dyna steering locks, especially Street Bobs, suck and will eventually fail to engage.

 

If you lock the forks without having the bars all the way to the left, and then move the bars at all the lower triple tree will hit the lock staft and move it out of alignment. As already said, just get a small screwdriver from underneath (there's lots of room in there) and move it forward. The whole thing will move quite easily.

 

It's an easy fix to do yourself. I looked on the forum and found the info to tweek it yourself. Takes 15 min tops.

I think that's what happened, i did like said with the screwdriver and just like that it was back to normal. Took all of 30 seconds. Thanks guys!

I just had the H-D Security System Smart Siren II installed........so I never have to dink around locking or trying to unlock the forks ever again.

 

I am on my third fork lock. One replaced under warranty period.

 

Now hit with a shot of LPS-1 every couple of months,this is the best lube for this area.

 

Uncle_Timmy is spot on. It worked for me exactly as he said.
