Opps, sorry txfxstrider. You did say that didn't you. Well thanks to txfxstrider and the service manual I'm very pleased. I must say that with a service manual there really isn't a whole lot that can't be fixed. It seems to cover virtually everything on the bike. And for those gray areas that the manual doesn't cover contact txfxstrider.

OK, OK, enough of that. I was just joking. Go ride that thing.

It can be as simple as an adjustment, but it's not uncommon to get crooked bars from the factory (sorry, but true), not bushings, not risers, but an actual bend in the handlebar.......the dealer should replace them&nbsp\\; (HD never had an issue with fixing the problem)
