Gerontious Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Stu said: He can't get it out because of those crash bars They look more like the support struts you might find on something that insists on too much chrome, to support the bike within its shipping crate. while en route from the factory to the dealership. They should have been removed but, never were. possibly due to the mistaken belief they really were crash bars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Well that's about right . Apparently the owner made the enormous crash bars and attached them to the swinging arm . You can't make it up . There is a proportion of Harley owners who are first time motorcycle owners and many of them really don't know anything about anything .

TimR Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Be amazed at how many new cars are allowed off the forecourt with the transportation blocks stillon the suspension ( hard plastic disks that stop the suspension compressing whilst being shipped/transported and meant to be removed on pre delivery inspection .)
