Default new convert (VRSCR) - help required
Hi Folks
Just got my first Harley (2006 Street Rod in Mirage Orange) after 30+ years riding, its proving to be quite a revelation.
I'm currently running it in, so haven't been able to use the power band yet!! But already a convert.
i'vea query to ask other VRSCR owners, do their front forks knock as they load up under sharp braking?
I've been into the dealers here in the Middle east with it, fearing the head bearings we're loose, they say not and it a common characteristic to the Sreet Rod -I'm not convinced -Has anyone else had thisnoise / suggestions how to cure/minimise it.
Keep laying that rubber down safely
Granty
