    Unhappy More front end woes !

    So finally after fooling around for 4 months after I new I had an issue with a fork seal, last Tuesday I got the bike to the dealer. Told them I wanted to upgrade the front suspension to the premium ride components. Then I needed to have the brakes and the hydraulic clutch flushed. I mentioned checking the head bearing as I noticed a slight handlebar wobble at slow speed. So the estimate was about $1300 to do that work. The fork parts were just shy of 400. Well I got a call yesterday and my head bearing is bad and needs replaced. Well add another 3 benjies. Hopefully the fork parts will come in soon and I can get it back and start riding.

    I know the head bearing is an issue. How many miles are on it? I have greased mine and snugged it up a bit but I'm at 56,000 miles on my Ultra.

    Not terrible . once it's done just make sure to grease it once a year. You should be good for another 30,000 plus..
