you in the IE 07bobber? It was right where they have been doing all the construction where it merges with the 91 and the 60 in the left lane - I swear the friggen 215 always ruins me - I absolutely hate that section - me and the boys were headed up to the LA COC in February I think (Maybe January) when it happened
I'm down in Fallbrook, just under Temecula, a couple of my brothers are up in the Redlands area.

Ditto
BFMC15

 

YEAH IM IN LAKE ELSINORE RIGHT BEFORE MURRIETA AND TEMECULA

 

cool man - im up in temecula pretty regularly - have a couple bros in town so we are at thebars sometimes

you an independent or club rider? looks liek theres a patch on the dude in your drawing but i cant make it out.

anyway - yea I try to stay away from the 215 - seems no matter what, cages, or bikes, or walking, somehow im gonna get screwed on that road

 

Even if it only tweaked an 1/8 of an inch, you might not be able to see it with the eye, but it will make a big difference the futher you get away from the swing are pivotpoint or the further away from the tire axle.

Refer to my first post. I might help you eyeball it better.

 

RIGHT ON I HAVENT RIDDEN SINCE END OF FEB DUE TO A BROKEN WRIST....NO IM NOT IN A CLUB I JUST RIDE WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS HERE AND THERE AND MY GRANDFATHER.
YOU IN A CLUB?

 

Be sure you contact the city about the damage... they are responsible for the condition of the road and the damage that occurs on it... trust me i live in chicago and loose at least 1 tire a year and a rim every now and then to a pot hole... takes some fighting and patients but THEY ALWAYS PAY!!! they have to... you should not have to pay for that when it is their job and your taxes that maintain the roads. take pictures, note the location... and fight it!

 

ill give it a shot - ive tried a few times with hotrods ive had in past, youd be surprised at what CALTRANS aint responsible for, and how they weasel out - 'Is your vehicle lowered? well, youre fault' blah blah blah and of course, all my **** is lowered, but worht a shot i guess


yep Boozefighter San Diego North County chapter. le tme know when your down my way and graba beer!

thanks guys for all the advice - Im gonna do some measurin and what nawt tonight - keep ya all posted

 

two things - anybody got a manual that could post anything it has schematic wise on the swingarm and pivot assembly for an 07 FXDB?

and also, anybody got a link for our manual? havent needed it until now

thanks in advance!!

 

how do they know it is lowered! toss on your stock shocks... boom stock bike! they pay!

 

If your insurance covers it under your policy, just make a claim and the insurance company will take care of it. A buddy of mine tore up his bumper hitting a lose cone on the freeway, and was compensated for not only a brand new bumper, but ended up with a brand new paint job, due the fact that the paint shop was having a hard time trying to match the color..And yes, this was in Cali...If they don't then you can try your luck going after Caltrans on your own....

As for your swing arm, I would take some blocks and a take a levelbar to it. Check to see if its level at all from front-to-rear...If the swing arm is bent, then you will have variationsbetween front-to-rear and/orfrom left to right...If the pivotbushing is screwed then it will show levelallthe way across...I'm not very good withexplaining things...So,if youdon't understand I'll try again....[sm=smiley20.gif]
