Looking for some help on an issue with my 07 fxdb. Whenever I hit I a bump I here a metal on metal knock in the front end. It hit's hard and doesn't sound good. Even at slow speeds under 10mh I here it. What are some things to look for?

 

Look to see if your brake pads are installed correctly, with the spring pushing down on them.
Also, do you have a fork brace?

 

No fork brace and they are brand new monitube fork inserts only 1500 miles. I'll check the brakes

 

No fork brace

 

I read in another post a while back that a bad front engine mount could move the front exhaust close to the frame. Try checking that clearance.

my $.02 good luck

 

Did you check the torque on your tank bolts.

 

+1 on checking the tank bolts.

 

Sounds good I'll check that. Thanks for all the help

 

Good ol' tank bolt, got me before!

 

Thanks guys it was the front tank bolt. All torqued and good to go!
