Man i gotta get some pics up on here of my Lo with the Harley Falshover numbered paint set i got on it. It really transformed the bike. My Lo was Big Blue pearl stock but with the custom Flash over set it really made it alot more sinister. Its a black pearl with small gold flake with orange red tangerine flames with skulls melted in. Its like this paint set was made for this bike. Im going to take some pics soon and get them up...

Report back later on what you think. I put some on the rear and will be going back to stock HD pads. These lyndall pads make a dust mess of the wheel and skreech quite a bit.

I had to give them some towels to cover where their bare metal hooks and straps touched the bike. It took them 2 hours to get the bike on the road to the dealer! Such nightmare. At least, they didn't ask me for more money. Will up date when I hear from the shop.
Someone else on here had a problem with the rear brake seizing up on their Lo a couple months back, cant remember if it was in our thread or in the softail section, try searching both, I remember him posting the results cant remember what the fix was though. Good luck and keep us up to date on the outcome.

Got my bike back late in the day, but here is the whole scoop. The service tech who claimed having 18 years of experience told me in the face that dirt and debris were the culprits(?) He also admitted that it was a rare and isolated incidence (no wide spread out break of any kind). I should note here that around 4 weeks ago I had the rear tire changed due to a nail puncture. At the same shop. Acknowledging that, the super tech stuttered the rest of the story, that he had to pry on the pads to remove the caliper. The pad was pushed, wedged and stuck unevenly onto the rotor! The rotor sustained some scoring, but not bad enough to be replaced. Both the caliper and pads were reset, cleaned and reinstalled. The bike was road tested for about 6 miles with nothing else to report. Everything was taken care of by the 2 year warranty. He said I should not worry too much of it. It's all fixed. Did I mentioned earlier that I had the rear tire worked on about 4 weeks ago before the problem occurred? It is too soon to tell. Meanwhile, I'm gonna take it easy on the throttle and paying extra attention to the rear brake every time my foot touches the pedal. Lesson to be learned: make sure the caliper and the pads are super clean when having the rear wheel or brake worked on. Again, the utmost important awareness to all riders: when you suddenly feel the brake goes spongy being pushed upon, safely get out of the traffic and call a real tow truck right away. Good luck to us all. Appreciate your inputs, always. Ride safe.
