Default Bike won't move
Have a 05 roadglide went for a ride yesterday all was good ran fine no problems till I got in my drive way pulled in went to downshift to first, felt it shift let out clutch and nothing. I can feel it shift into all the gears but she won't move. Neutral light comes on when in neutral. If the bike is off and in gear i can't push it but if I start it and put it gear I can push but it won't move under power. Any ideas

probably clutch, but check to see if you blew your belt off

Ok, not trying to be a wise *** or anything, but is your drive belt still there?

I would guess the next thing to do is pop you derby cover and watch when you put it in gear and let out clutch if anything works. If something in the primary went, you would think you would hear it.
