Hello
I'm Konstantin, 45 years old, and I live in Switzerland.
We bought together with a friend a 1990 Heritage Softail on Ebay last week.
It was descripted as an 'crashed bike' and the price was attractive.
The previous owner had a collision with a car, damaging many parts like headlight, handle bar and others.
Now, having the bike in our garage,we are looking at the frame, in order to understand if anything is damaged.
Can an Heritage owner tell me if the plate soldered between the two front tubes of the frame is normally flat (like the one in my 1998 FXDX) or is it slightly bent in the middle like that:
I'm wondering if this a result of the crash or not...
Many thanks for the help!!!
Konstantin
