You didn't by chance just fill up with gas?

Ain't it 'sposed to be a bit lighter than it's predecessor? Like a 50lb shave?

Either way...a harley is a harley and a harley is a heavy damn bike

No, they filled it up before I left with it. That is what I thought at first but looked under the tank and fuel was dripping out of the front injector. I caught about 2 quarts in a drain pan before the service manager got there.

Dealer said front forks are now 49mm??? How did it handle vs. older models as far as brake-dive? Also, the steering neck bearings look to be larger which should get rid of the wobble a lot of riders experienced lately.

Holy cow! There's a story you'll be telling for a long time! I'd say that was a pretty good response from the dealer so hopefully, they'll fix everything including any scrapes and gashes with no hassle.

That is a story that you will be telling for years to come. No damage to you or the bike is what makes it funny...

(sarcasm) So the 2014 Harley's fall over just as easily as the older models? Just another issue that Harley hasn't addressed.


Congrats on the new bike.
