My buddy has a 09 Heritage Softail. im out of town at Delmarva bike week and got a txt from him so I dont have a lot of info yet. Bet he said the left side of his engine is making a loud intermittant noise. Not for sure if its high or low. But was thinking right away about the problems there have been with the Comp bolts backing out.
If this is the case, would this make a noise all the time or could it make a intermittant noise. And should he stop riding the bike right away until its fixed? Any info or ideason this is appreciated.
By the way, nice here in OCMD and plenty of bikes already.
