You told us you used the microfiche, but you didn`t tell us you were using aftermarket bearings, then maybe we could have asked some pertinent questions.

We assumed you were using oem bearings, and the only way your problem could happen with oem bearings would be for a detail to be missing.

We can`t always think of all the questions to ask...

People tried to help you here, and they did it for free...you didn`t pay us a cent.

But, You`re welcome.

if you call assuming someone did something wrong “help” Then...........


well I have nothing more to say......


and I paid for the site, and it’s services instead of just signing up and doing nothing. I did a little research and most of your comments on everyone’s threads are just you belittling people and their thought process. Lighten up. You have one life to live and your more than half way through it.

And for aftermarket bearings......who wants to buy the junk “made in Mexico” bearings WE offer at Sac Harley?

So you used Chinese bearings instead.

I stand corrected.

Have a nice day.
