Hey fellas, probably nothing, but can someone check the gap on their bike compared to the photo, just never noticed it that big before
Cheers Chopa. Thought it didn't look right.
Dust seal? Could that just have fallen off?
Am i sweet to ride until i get it checked?
Just did some close ups of some older photos. Looks like I've been riding this way for a very long time.
Cant see any type of seal either
OK the late dyna's have a shit top dust seal & need there steering bearing cleaned check & grease more often than you would think , i use trailer water proof grease in them because that silly seal let's water in ,so don't wash your bike hard , esp around this part of the bike + wheel bearings etc , it's not a seal that goes over the outside like the early models it's a shit design ?, but as long as you know , iv'e seen steering bearing stuffed @ 16,000 klm's on the late dyna's there is a slight lower step @ the back of the frame as you can see in the pic there as well + the dust shield fit's inboard of the frame with a 2mm gap . so it realy act's like a funnel for the water , if in dought just put in new bearings , maybe ( ALL BALLS BEARINGS ) have a fix for this, but i don't know what the factory was thinking the gay guy that designed that part was having a bad hair day , because it wan't designed by a motorcycle rider thats fore-sure
