Hello Glenn,
Reading this while listening to the talking heads on FOX...just
wondered if the problem occurred because you were always trying to
turn LEFT while riding the RIGHT bike, the exaulted KiLleRista, just
refused that CA logic of going LEFT? (or into a HD dealer...)cough
It is nice when the part replacement, fixes the problem.
