Thanx for the info.

Ya .. but see that 2008 and earlier FXDWG.

My uncle's got a '97? Wide Glide ... and everytime I rode it, I felt the clunk!
I'll have to email him this info.

 

if im not seeing the effects of any front end problems , should i still take my bike in or should i just hope nothing happens.. im riding a 06 dyna fxdi....thanks

 

no don't bring it in if the bike doesn't have the problem.
it is a bulletin not a recall. its info to help fix problems.
a recall would have to be done, this is not a recall.
also it is only free if the bike is still under warranty, it doesn't extend the warranty.

 

Could someone define the clunk? Is it when you hit a bump or something? Or when stopping hard as the front end dives down? I don't know if I have it or not? Thanks

 

Hi,
Idoubt if it makes any difference my 03 clunks both ways. It is sad that T.M.C. would let the problem go for so long before a fix.

thanks for the info. as mud said it answers a lot of questions. no just have to get the stealer to do it.
