Angry Help Please! Need some Suggestions
Just bought my 2014 street glide special. Well I was removing the top transmission chrome cover and dropped one of the bolts down into the transmission. Well I've fished for it over and over with a magnet and can't seem to find it. Has anyone else had this to happen. If so what is my bet now go ahead and trailer it into the HD shop and let them find this bolt. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Put it back together & start it up. The warranty should cover it. LOL. I would keep fishing for it or back to the dealer.

Yep, hope your good friends with the service advisor, sounds like may be a warranty issue with those loose bolts you were trying to fix

Well good for you. I was just going to suggest you drain your trans and use your magnet to fish from the other end. Glad you found it.

Glad you got it out.... But I gotta ask - why were you removing the trans cover on a brand new bike?
