latest on the unsprung Springer

Shop says it was the bearings inside the front Fender. They had rusted (13 years old) and siezed up under full compression. As soon as they backed the torque off the axle the front end will move.
Bearings on order, down about a week - 10 days

That I believe is just a bushing and not a bearing I would look in your manual

it sounds like the rockers are too tight.....Hopefully they put them together properly, but it doesn't sound that way....

Hello My friend, Had someone already taken the ACE out of the deck when you arrived here. As you see I had to add a tag line to mine.

See you in 2 weeks.

And yes, HSOA is a highly recomended site for anyone who has bounce in their front end.
