adjusting star nut for fall away..??
alright, i understand what they mean by measing and adjusting the fall away in the steering neck ....but how do you guys get at that star nut under the top triple tree?
..i mean, i have the steering cap and nut and washer off...lower pinch bolts loosened....now what? ....i can see the star nut in there at the steering neck, but am i supposed to get in there with a narrow punch or something and start wacking it until it appears to move the way i need it to?

Retighten those lower pinch bolts.
Loosen the top pinch bolts,
Raise the upper tree.

HA!...you know, it's funny you mention that, mud!.... cause i'm looking at the damn thing, and i'm saying to myself..."you know, it would kinda make a little more sense to just loosen the upper pinch bolts and tug a bit on the uppers to expose a bit more of the adjuster."
harley is funny sometimes, man.... i don't get that
