I remember reading on here once that a springer front end required a little more maintenance than tubes. It might have been Frisco that mentioned this.
I told my buddy that I would find out what was meant by that.
So, if you will, could someone explain what additional maintenance is required to keep a springer in good shape versus running tubes?
Thanks. ]]> Tbone http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-shocks-harley-chassis-issues/7431-springer-maintenance.html http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-shocks-harley-chassis-issues/7193-chrome-steering-stem-cover.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:15:02 GMT Guys, I'm ashamed to admit this,:o but while attempting to change out the stock steering head/triple tree for a chromed HD version, I cannot get the chrome cover off of the center nut. I was told not to attempt to pry it off as it is threaded into the top of the assembly and would ruin the cover. It's a 1996 Dyna Lowrider. Very little of the cover is above the surface level of the steering head to get a grip on. It's partially recessed. I tried putting a strip of leather around it and using Channel-lock pliers to try and turn it, used penetrating oil, and tapped on it with a dead blow hammer to no avail.
I made sure it didn't have a set screw somewhere on it that I could simply loosen. The only things I haven't tried that I can think of are either applying a bit of heat, and as a last resort, prying the dang thing off with a pair of flat tip screwdrivers or something! I hope it's something simple , but I'm getting the feeling that the thing must've been put on with Loctite.....PLEASE HELP ME!!!!:eek: ]]> Big_Cheese http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-shocks-harley-chassis-issues/7193-chrome-steering-stem-cover.html
