Another new product to protect your crank from failing flywheels and their ever growing runout tolerances.

Un-F**kin' Believable ... So now we pay to fix what they tried to save money on?

"Harsh drag race launches". Who in hell writes this stuff?
When we raced AHDRA, never once, new of a soul, that was running a maximum effort application, that was running down the race track charging his/her battery, with an on-board system.

Max Effort? ... as defined by who? Some corporate bean counter's definition of anything over 3500 RPM

There are a lot of HD buyers that take the dealer's word on everything. This is a fix that will make some feel all warm and fuzzy. You would think that most HD owners are wiser than that, but there is one born every minute.

This insert doesnt say anything about 09s and no the 09s dont appear to be timken yrs either only possible l/h case cut for better seating.Specs appear to remain at latest updated runouts. This timken insert does no good and could make damage worse w/o correcting the flywheels ability to scissor.I guess HD couldnt word that into the explaination given under part.

man you guys would complain if they hung you with a silk rope. Harley makes problem, sees problem and fixes problem...sounds like good business.

Can't see how paying $85 per/hr plus parts being a bonus on top of the purchase price.!!

Cheers

You are right about them making a problem and seeing it! As far as fixing it goes they have not done any such thing but to mask it!

Sounds like good business, Yeah right! If that was the case they would be building these motors with better flywheels and bearings from the start. (Because like you say they SEE the PROBLEM) So the only good business is on their end by selling this garbage.
