Switchback front end noise
I've had a clunk in the front of my Switchback on rough roads for a while. I'll check the front tank mount bolt. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the compliment. By the way, there's a facebook page for 35th Anniversary owners: https://www.facebook.com/groups/196393540511025/, check it out.

There was a problem with the 2006 dynas and the steering head nut torque. Also, there is a washer with an index tab that keeps the steering head nut in place. The original washer part was changed to a stronger washer because if you try to torque the steering head nut down the the updated 70-80 ft-lbs, the index tab would typically sheer off.
Not the ONLY cause of 2006 clunk, but a common one.
