Fork doesn't lock on 2002 Ultra Classic
I have a buddy that just bought a 2002 Ultra Classic. I noticed today that when the switch is in the lock position the fork doesn't lock. Other than that everything seems to work like it should. Any ideas ? Thanks

It's also worth pointing out that there is a mechanism in there, which may be out of adjustment. It's too long since I last looked at mine to recall what is involved, but the factory service manual will tell you. It can be adjusted so it works again.

I always lock mine when I leave the bike in a public place. Sure, they can break the lock and seal it anyway. But, if I don't lock it it may give the insurance company a reason to try to squirm out of their responsibilities. I figure that if the bike gets stolen a broken fork lock will be the least of my worries and I don't want the insurance to have any reason to deny.

My 02 was that way.
Try to apply slight pressure on the handlebar
with the forks turned all the way. It might lock.
Not a good design. Kinda like the saddlebag latches
and the rear tire valve stem. Other than that . . . .
DAMN I miss that bike !!!!
Sad story there.
