Hello everyone! I just got my 08 Fatty and the bike is great! I handles like a charm, no tranny noises, runs straight like an arrow. I love it! The only two things I noticed are 1. minor one - sounds like there is a loose part in the headlights area, not a biggy and 2. when I move the bike around the garage, I can hear that front brake makes a bit of a noise as if it was rubbing against something. It doesn't in any way make moving the bike any harder or causes any issues but wondering if this is normal sound or not. This is my first bike and well, don't know any better I can hear that moving the bike back and forth. Wondering if my baby is fine or should I take her to the "doctor". Thank you!

 

The headlight thing sounds weird . But the front brake thing is normal.

 

I am glad you asked this, I have noticed this for two years and 7000 miles. Never thought enough of it to ask, but i'm glad you did.

 

What sounds like headlight noise is probably loose steering head. I thought my headlight was loose the first time I heard it too. Its not really right but is common and can be fixed...sometimes. I got mine tightened at 1000 mi service and it made a big difference. Brakes drag on new bikes with new pads--that is normal.
