Author Message   Norcalbuell Posted on Friday, July 01, 2005 - 10:29 pm:        I need some advise.... I showed this to my local HD/Buell tech and he seemed concerned and ordered the part. That was 3 months ago with no phone call when it came in like they said. im afraid to leave my bike with them for however long it takes...Big time bike detox/withdrawls...dont know if i can take that and the fact there gonna have to tear the bike a part and pray to god they do it right....Should i be worried?

I just changed my front one out and it didnt look ANYWERE near as bad as that.The rear one DEFINETLEY looked a little bit more difficult than the front but didnt really seem TOO hard. I can just imagine what your bike feels like in the corners...   Norcalbuell Posted on Saturday, July 02, 2005 - 12:45 am:        its that bad? bike seems to handle fine....maybe because its been that way for so long, ive got use to it....got a manual, might be out of my league....should be covered by warranty? what would cause this? thanks in advance... chuck   Court Posted on Saturday, July 02, 2005 - 04:59 am:        >>>>>I can just imagine what your bike feels like in the corners... I can. Your bike will exhibit what feels like a hammer gently tapping on the frame. This will be most pronounced in right hand turns with decreasing throttle. Not to worry. You don't say what model it's on, but I bear glad tiding. The isolators will be an "in stock" part at any Buell dealer worth their salt (they cost nearly nothing and are a cross-over part with some FXR models) and the change out can be done by any competent mechanic. Any questions or concerns, let me know. That's why your friends at Badweb are here.
