    Dealing with this issue now on my 2020 Deluxe. Bike is still under warranty and been in the shop for 6 days. I have read a few people say that Harley’s fix is to loosen the swingarm bolt and re torque. Dumbest thing I ever heard. Hoping that’s not all they are going to do on my bike. There is obviously something causing this issue. The bike was so squeaky to ride with the swingarm completely seized up. Hope it gets fixed the right way and not half assed.

      Well verdict is in on my bike. Dealer called me and tell me the swingarm pivot shaft needs replacing. Apparently they can’t get it back in. 🤦‍♂️ They tell me the part is on back order with no eta. I chatted with friends and various people on forums and they tell me that they have waited 6 months to a year on no eta parts. What an absolute crock of 💩! I have been emailing various Harley Dealers in the US and seeing if they may possibly have the shaft in stock. Funny thing is that I can get an aftermarket one made by Bare Knuckle Performance online…I would have to pay for it and of course I would have to pay the dealer to install it because my warranty is not going to cover the work. It blows my mind that Harley doesn’t have a warehouse with available parts ready to order. I made the call to corporate and they are looking into the part…which we both know is not going to go anywhere. I love Harley but I think this might be my last one.

    My custom big twin was built with these big beach bars that I hated so I tried every bar and riser combo I had in the shop. Nothing worked, I couldn't get comfortable. Finally out of desperation I tried the wide rabbit ears I bought for a Sportster project I am planning. I never thought they would work but they are perfect. The bike finally fits me. They look a bit out of place on such a big bike but screw it I'm comfortable. The parking lot handling has suffered but at road speed they ride great. The big bike feels light and maneuverable now. Hopefully I will get used to the parking lot handling over time, it's already getting better. Only down side is that I will have to buy another set for the Sporty.

    Deffinitly not a useless addition. Pre 2007 sportster and Buell oil pumps are prone to gradual failure. The oil gauge will tell you when the pump starts to fail long before the idiot light comes on. Could stop you from being stranded or worse, damaging your bike. Great video Bro!
