I have a Springer Classic and the only time I ever got any noise coming from it was when I 1st put on my windvest. I had the windvest angled too far forward and when I'd hit a bump the small brace across the top of fork was "clicking" against the windvest mount. Otherwise my forks don't make any noise other than to say AHHHH! each time I go for a ride.

The top crown nut does not sit flush in the top tree. I noticed the same thing with my bones .. there is an angle to create less rake due to the springer .

Yep, mine looks exactly the same. Always thought it was setup that way to reduce the rake.

Default I agree

Yep,

My stock XBones front end looks exactly like Hurricane's picture. Never noticed that before, but now I won't worry. Thanks guys.

Did they forget to replace the Spring Bridge?

So I went to a dealer (needed to check some prices anyway) and saw that even a stock on the floor 2010 bones looks like this as well. Looks like we are GTG.

Aside from the random clank I hear (which prob has nothing to do with the springs anyway and is just a noise), the burly kit gets a thumbs up. Ride is still as good as stock if not better, and the rear lowering shocks are great. 50 % better or more than stock I would say. Overall I am very happy!
