Come to find out two bolts from the sprocket (STOCK FORM HARLEY) backed out and was cought on the swing arm. When I backed the bike up it must have moved the bolts. When the dealer was loading the bike a bolt fell out and he saw the second bolt missing.

I had a strange experience yesterday ending up a 200 mile ride. Luckily I was only a mile from home at a stop light. When green I let the clutch go in first gear and the bike would not move. It was almost as if the rear brake was locked up. I sensed power being transferred to the rear wheel because the *** end lowered. I could not push the bike either. I cycled the gears nothing worked. Finally I went to neutral and was able to move the bike backwards. Then I put it in gear and went. I stopped once again just a block from home and It happened again. Same to clear. Trans fluid was to the mark and did not smell. Engine oil the same. My 2007 FLHTC only has 4K on it and I did not yet do the 5K service.
Could it be the primary, or the rear calipers locked up from heat?
