front end?
Hi everyone, my buddy has a 2006 dyna low rider and all of a sudden when he rides he can feel every little bump in the front end? any idea what it might be? No signs of fork oil leaking out. Maybe a fork spring broke?........thanks for the help.

Steve; see your other post.
Elwrong; you might want to elaborate a little more about your buddies problem in order to make a better prognoses on said condition. (everything goes bump in the night)

Start with a steering head adjustment. He might be getting clunking as a result of that, or simply the nut needs to be torqued back down. Those are just a couple cheap things to look into to start you off....

I will take a look at the few things here mentioned. I may even haul off the front tire and see it re-balanced. The previous owner had the wheels powder-coated so they may not have been balanced, who knows!
