fatboy front break issue
Ok so I picked up my bike from a shop here in the Indy area, they really are awesome guys and take good care of poeple. They did my 30k mile service and changed the riser bushings on my bike. The guy told me that something on my break was loose so they tightened it bc it was really loose. On my way home I noticed that the front break wasnt working like it did before I took it in. I have to grab a handful for it to start to catch now, and if I'm not really grabbing it then it wont keep the bike stopped at the light, like it will roll around unless I really grab a handful. Anyone have any ideas?

Where they working fine before you took it in for service? I'd would not be looking to "fix it myself" no matter how cold it was. If it was working fine before and then started to fail after the indy "tightened something" I would want to hold them accountable if they did mess something up. As soon as you put your tools to it there is no reason they can argue that you may have been the one who caused the issue. I guess if you trust them enough to make good on it regardless then go for it. Hope you figure it out.

Call 'em, tell 'em the problem, and can they come pick it up. I would guess they will be happy to oblige since they prolly don't want any brake-related liability issues on their hands.
I don't mess around when it comes to brakes, tires, or steering.

If its 96th,. I only let Russ touch mine.
the wrench should have noticed that when he rolled it off the lift.
I wouldn't touch it, and for sure I'd call them and let them redo it,
