Yeah everytime I ride onto my shop ramp too fast my front fork bottoms out...thud! And they are definitely too squishy!
I have some new chrome lower fork tubes to install I''l do it at that time.
I have the patient laid out for surgery tonight (new crossover pipe gasket).
Good that you got a new crossover gasket, they go on and off easy. I put a little high heat gasket sealer around mine so it wouldn't leak. I had put a new one one previously and it had leaked. I saw black exhaust stains around it. So when I changed it again I used a little gasket sealer and it is tight with no leaks.
Good idea! I have a little of that. It should serve as a lubricant too while I press the new gasket in there. Everything I have read says it is a total pain in the *** to install. I hope not.
Hi Tall Timber.
FedEx got here early this morning so I had time to get the tires mounted and balanced, so far things are going well. Its over 100 degrees in the garage so its time for a break until it cools off.

These are going to look sweet on your bike! I can't wait to see them on your bike.
I have a three week old to me 2017 Low Rider S that I decided I needed forward controls. I bought them at the sale and had the dealer do them 1 week later. BIG mistake! Totally changed the bikes handling, I hated it. Before the forwards, I was like this is the best handling Harley I've ever ridden and with the power to compliment it very well. After, not so much.
So I debated for a week what I was going to do, watching videos of how to do the job. Since the dealer did the install, and supposedly had all the parts from the take off I felt like I could manage it. So yesterday I got off work early and went to one of the local dealers since they had a black inner primary gasket kit which included the bolts, grabbed the outer primary gasket, and some Syn3. Had to stop at auto parts store and get a 1 3/16th socket for the clutch nut, and a T70 torx for the compensator nut and a few other things for the job.
The job wasn't that difficult, but I did it on the ground and that is what sucked the most. Oh and the installer didn't leave me the shifter shaft spacer and the brake lock washer that goes between the peg mount, so I had to go back and purchase those this morning. I'll be posting the forwards in the for sale section soon, so if interested check it out.
Anyway, that's what I did to my Dyna today and yesterday.
Installed Drag Specialties Highway Pegs to my Low Rider S.
Comfy on a motorway ride.

I had thought about Forward controls on mine.
Glad I just went with the Highway Pegs now

are those abs bearing or just some brand that uses orange seals?
i doubt abs because they look flush and abs wouldn't be on the pulley side
