Brake/fork issue, is this normal?
600+ miles on the 07 FXST and had an unusual experience today. When I applied the front brake in what might considered an aggressive manner I noticed kind of a "click" or "pop" in the front fork (I can't even say for sure it's he fork, but some where in the front end).It is audible and I can feel it in the bars. All seems tight and this only occurs when the forks compress more than normally as when pressure/weight transfers forward heavily and quickly. I can reproduce the the event by rolling forward a few feet and locking up the front brake compressing the shocks. I guess when I get a chance I will ask the dealer (what a pain in the A$$) but I thought someone may have some insight. Thanks,

RE: Brake/fork issue, is this normal?
I've had the exact same symptom with my 07 Train--I noticed it right away. But, I think its just something in the neck/steering head area that needs to be torqued a little more and I'm not really worried about it. Its not getting worse. I'm going to have it looked at when I get the 1000 mi. service done but I'm not going tomess withit until then.

The only other thing I can think of might be loosebearings in the neck.

I concur with this assessment. Sounds like you need to tighten the steering head a bit.
Concur with the above, mine was loose, had to tightten the steering nut up some, and is fine.
