I impacted it on. So it should be good. Hes going to have me tear into it this winter and do the bushing cause there was some play in it. Hes rebuilding everything but just wanted it to stop leaking for now. Took it for a spin when i was done..........what a fricken tank! That thing did not like turning. Straight line was nice and smooth but you had to truck drive that baby thru the corners. Oh and im spoiled with my EFI Road King..........kicking this thing wore me OUT. I weight 213 lbs and I had to put every damn pound in it! Fun though....just cant get that sound from an Twinky.
On the serious side that front end should not be that tight or hard to maneuver honestly , look to see if it has the old hand **** steering damper under the lower tree if not I'd be checking the head bearings in a hurry . They will feel a bit on the fat or heavy side but you shouldn't have to manhandle it , somethings off there .

yeah with all the evos and twinkies out there these old bikes are getting to be a lost art. I was even surprised to see the dealership had the parts for it. Cheap too! I bought all the seals and gaskets for the trans and think it was like $20.
