streetglide 09 frame bolted together ?
went to dealer today had them put the lowering shocks on and reach seat noticed t the front part of frame was bolted to the rear section was wondering if there would be an issue with this down the road due to vibration and stress any opinions on this and which would be stronger welding or bolting?

Crotch Rocket standard procedure. Like you... I asked.
I so very much like how 09 rides and handles. Swapped bikes (06) a couple months ago, and was reminded how much I like 09 bike and new frame.
Don't sweat it!

09s have been on the road for six months now. I still haven't heard or read (I'm on several forums) one negative thing about this new frame......not one!

One of the things I have read about the "two Piece" frame is that in the case of a accident or other misfortune that might result in a bent frame you do not have to replace the whole frame just the bent half=cheaper repair bilss (hopefully I never have to find out. Oh yea by the way the two peice construction also gives the '09 models there strength and stability.
