Default 07 fxdb jack shaft issues
Anyone heard of the teeth wearing off the jack shaft on 2007 FXDB's? I've seen and read a few things, but I thought I'd post to get some more information. My bikes only got 4500 miles on it, as I got it 2 months ago and of course, no warranty. I'm taking it to the dealership and playing stupid, but I know that's the problem after my friend and I installed forward controls this weekend and noticed it. Thanks.
