Bought 2012 streetglide in march, had an issue with the two bolts that attach exhaust with bracket to transmission, the two bolts were loose and leaking, I brought it to the dealership and they fixed it, I was happy with there service but now when I get on the gas or let off I hear a clunk and when I say get on the gas, it happens even if in barley give it gas. Any speed any gear, let off clink , gas again clink, i appreciate any advice, I'm not a big fan of having any one else work on my vehicles, it has 8600 miles, thank you Patrick

Start with easy question. Did you check your tranny oil level?

Patrick -- this new members forum is not the place to get help or advice, nobody really reads anything you post here, they just robotically respond with "welcome to the forum" replies. Try posting your question in one of the bike-specific forums.

PS -- I don't have an answer on your issue, I've never encountered this.

Welcome from Florida, your bike is under warranty, take it back to the dealer and make them get it right.

Welcome from Utah. I'd take that baby to the dealer and scream until it's right.
