Default 08 Ultra Fork Lock

I have discovered that my 08 Ultra fork will not lock when in the locked down position and the wheel hard left.&nbsp\\; Anyone else have this problem?

Mine wouldn't lock when I picked it up.&nbsp\\; Took it back in, they made some adjustment and 10 minutes later I was on my way.

Does yours lock to the right or to the left?

My '07 Streetglide wouldn't lock either when it was new.&nbsp\\; At 900 miles I greased the neck (took about half a tub of grease) and suddenly the front end locked like it was supposed to.&nbsp\\; Still does.

After successfully locking to the right, I just tried the left again and it worked fine if I levelled the bike, turned hard left and then activated the lock and then lowered it to the kickstand.......weird...but it works now..

I had this very same problem a few months ago. The clutch cable was being pinched between the rubber fork stop and the frame. Slightly relocated the cable with a plastic cable tie and all is well
Check your clutch cable it might be getting pinched also.

I just unlocked it from the left side and then tried to lock it again.&nbsp\\; Now it will not lock on the right or left side.&nbsp\\; I tried different clutch cable positions and it still will not lock.&nbsp\\; I will be having the dealer check it next week....
