back to the problem at hand, whatever it was (appears to be a bolt) was rubbing for a while. You can see where the threads on the bolt were. My guess, and thats all it is, is that a bolt was trapped between the primary and the frame, and vibration took its course. once enough clearance was made, it most likely fell out. This may well have happened long before you got the bike.

In 0.40 seconds I had your name, telephone number (423) 7... and your address 187 S... Lane. Every thief on the planet knows where to look for a Harley. Albeit one with a hole in the inner primary. C'mon. Think.

If it was me, I would change my account name. Ketron isn't exactly the most common name in the US. To change it, you must contact an administrator but you need 5 posts to do that. Easier would be to start a new thread in the Forum Issues subforum with the title "I need to change my user name". Don't get complacent at 55 years old.
Thanks for advice

As far as knowing where to find a Harley, there is enough guys with hd stickers on their Toyotas to keep busy.

I am sure can be welded, and out of sight. Tough chrome would look nice too.

While I wouldn't use my name, I don't think it is as useful as some think. Not like it is secret. Cracks me up when guys black out plates on pics. Most people can't look up, plus it does go in public.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think there is a bolt on the frame that could cone loose and hit the that, given where it is at. But I am not looking at it.

You are going 70, chunk of metal boys off something going 170 other way, depending angle you got 70 +70 relative velocity. I would think crack, but just wild guess. Something did it.

Just install the inner primary you got off of ebay and soldier on....Personally, Id have just welded it up and went on about my day...without having posted my trials and tribulations on a social forum. But, that's me.
