Thanks JC, I did use lots of loktite and torqued to prolly 150fp, like I said I do have about 4k on the comp job and no issues, do you think I may have some issues down the road? Forgot to mention I did pull cover off at 1k just to check my work and it was still torqued..

I took it to RT 66. I really like Richard, the new service manager. I wish he could work on my bike everytime! They are making it right, and after talking to him, I don't think I will have ANY problems going forward, but only time will tell for sure I guess.

He also stated today that the plastic disc is NOT under any torque, so it doesn't matter as some had said.

Looking forward to getting it back, weather has turned off nice here finally.....

He used to own Twister City. Ive heard just a few complaints about 66 since the new owner bought it but for the most part, I think its a much better dealership than it was before. They used to never have any events and there was never ever anything on sale. Now theres both all the time and seems to be a win win for the customer and the dealership. Hope they get you fixed up soon.

+100000000 on that statement......
