RE: Steering head leaking
It's actually due for a service, this is how it came from the stealer originally (haven't done the lubing myself). Nope, not washed recently and this is the first ride I've taken since I got back from Chicago. I figured it was probably over packed, but the oil was what made me wonder. Humidity maybe? Anyway, I think I'll take y'all advice and clean it up and monitor it.
Oh, and I agree, the frog needs to find something usefull to do with his freetime...like play with matches around gas leaks.
Coaster had it right frog, you're one to talk about getting a life...why don't you go on and ride your Huffy. Last thing about you you'll here from me because quite frankly I give a rat's *** about your opinion of me or anything else. Have to wonder if at the end of the day frog thinks of what a fine contribution to the world he's made.
Anyway, thanks all...I'll chalk this one up as normal for now.

Only has 1400 miles, but I do have the service manual...they definitely seem to be packed.

Zombie those steering head bearings need to stay packed, do you have a service manual? Don't know how many miles yours has.

Would'nt be a HArley if it were not leaking something poser..........Nice poser pic man. You are adorable all dressed up and all on your bad boy HD.(with a small leak) All ya need is to be flashin a sparkly Rolex on that arm and you will indeed be stylin' for all to wish they were you.

RE: Steering head leaking
I have a 2006 FLSTCI as well and mine did the same thing. I did not see as much as you show on the picture but it did have a oily feel like you said. I just turned 1100 miles and it has almost stoped all together. I was told to just keep a eye on the thing just over filled from factory. I wish I new how to post pictures because I have a rolex that would **** off that idiot... How do you like your new Heritage I love mine. It's in the shop with a front end wobble at 40 MPH but the dealer is taking care of it. The weather has been perfect since they got the thing that sucks. Enjoy your bike and be safe. Tom

RE: Steering head leaking
I'm glad to hear yours stopped...wasn't all that concerned until I saw the oily stuff. I have a Ducati that I've ridden once since I got the bike and I'm thinking about getting rid of it. Had a lot of bikes, but nothing like the Heritage.
What was the problem with the front end?
You do the same Tom, ride safe bro.

You know I usually don't give a damn about azzholes like you. But I got to say you are just one big piece of ****. Go back into the hole you crawled out from. Better yet someone with authority throw this pile of garbage out of here!

Zombie,
My '05 Heritage leaked greasy oily stuff out (again, not as much as yours) and finally stopped... It didn't start again until I squirted more grease into the fitting! I guess that means it is full...
