Did you try turning the front end while trying to lock it. If it works the same as my fork lock, you gotta turn the forks to get the pin lined up right when locking it. Typically i don't use my fork lock anyways, I ussually throw a padlock on the brake disk if I wan't extra security.
I purchased a Nightster about a month ago and my front fork lock will not turn(Lock)
Do you guys think this will be fixed free of charge under warranty?
Yes, harley is very good about warranties. They cover practically everything including chrome. The only time you will run into warranty problems is when a dealership wants to be an ***. In that case you call Harley customer service and get it straightened out. Compared to Honda, the Harley warranty is fantastic.
Interesting! Mine is experiencing the same problem, started yesterday. I can't get it to lock unless I shake the key until the sweet spot is found. Before that, it locked with ease.
