H-D 1, me 0 Project Fatboyfix in effect.
Well, I must admit HD has won, I think I have lost in my efforts to make them correct the issue with the 2007 Fatboy. I get the idea that this 07 will be my only new HD purchase.
I think at this point loosing my butt on a trade for a model 1-2 years younger than mine isnt sound either (much as Im determined to get an 08 Night train in the future and throw some apes on her.... muahahahahah!!!!!!!)
I have heard/read information that the lower front forks and rear swing arm were redesigned for 08 and 09 thus correcting the issue with the f'ed up 07 front axle offset.
I'll be doing research into this project and trying to collect part numbers from HD that will need to be swapped to correct this issue.
Does it suck 07 owners that are concerned with this have to go to these extremes to fix our bikes? Oh yeah.
But as countless HD owners before have done, if you dont like it break it till you do!
So if all you 07 owners are up for it, Id like to ask for your help. If you know of anything or hear of anything (parts, custom chassi mods etc.) that will get our bikes to the 08-09 standard please post it up!

Well, the front tire will wear severely on the right side. 300 miles isnt long enough to notice a tire scrubbing but about 2-3 thousand miles on a new front tire and the wear is noticeable. Shows you just where your front tire is contacting the pavement and when you see how FAR to the right it actually is, its a wonder you can even make a right turn safely!

No route to file a safety complaint with the government?? Does lemon law cover such a thing?
Sucks that you are stuck with a really nice bike that isn't mechanically sound.
Move to Kansas and ride with the cross wind, it will wear the other side of the tire. That drove me crazy for 3 years when I had a sportbike there
