Front end Clunk

[Blenk]

As I reported in January I and many others have a front end clunk.
Harley know about this and have posted to all dealers a fix.
My dealership has ordered the parts for this (along with several others for friends that I told in January), but still haven't received the parts to fix the problem, because somebody (could have been me) told the world and they were inundated with orders to fix said problem.
I am still clunking

try putting a little more fork oil in the forks

Keep me updated, my front end "clunked" while touring spain two years ago, front shock seal gone, insurance covered fix (took two weeks!) and getting bike back to UK, but rest of holiday in four wheel hired tin can.
Doubt I'd get anything off MoCo for now though.

I have had it fixed.

I've waited a short while to reply, just to make sure it worked.

At long last, it only took 1 washer and 15 minutes at the dealership to fix the problem.

I have been out, ridden hard, braked very hard and pulled off very hard and now I am clunk-less.

Service manager thought I was lying. :60277EB7B 04744289C0

Blenk,

What is the service kit part number for the softails. I am not sure. Thanks

[Blenk]

Sorry for the delay.
Just back from a week in France (clunkless)
I will try and find out but your dealer should know as I is an official Harley problem on their network.
If I don't get back soon print out the solution I posted earlier, it has the Harley code at the top and take it to your dealership they should know.
