Probably had a bolt or something similar jump off the road and hit it there.

I was gonna say exactly what Cygnus said, although most likely a self-tapping or wood screw.

Something hit that inner really hard. Surely whoever was riding the bike would have felt it. Looks like maybe a chunk of steel.

Definitely a bolt or screw of some sort. You can see the impressions from the threads.

Carl,

I would send you a private message (PM) but you don't have enough posts. Let me give you a heads up. This is a public forum on the internet. Everyone on the planet has access to it. You used your name for your account and gave your city and state in your location.

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.

OP, if you can you tell me your first car, what high school you graduated from, the name of your first pet, what city you met your wife, the name of your best friend and your favorite sports team, I'll tell you what caused the hole in your inner primary.
