route66paul is on a distinguished road
Why did they change thier acceptable runout from .004 to .012? These cranks are just not strong enough and do not have a decent quality control. In the 40s and 50s with wornout machinery was one thing, but in todays world that is substandard for any engine powering anything on American highways. HD is banking on people buying these bikes and driving them fewer than 3000 mi a year, so many of these bikes won't even have 10k on them by the time the warranty ran out.

For many of these, even that doesn't help them. The dealer just says "They all do that", and pretty soon riding season is over and this poor guy is worried about Christmas and skiing. Next summer, it is the same thing, in and out of the dealer and nothing done. This is shameful
