| Description of the problem | Message: to who it may concern, has anyone every mentioned the problem with harley davidson model fat bob 2008 and on, the problem with the front tire dunlap 427 made especially for fat bob cupping (lumping of tread) causing vibrations bad uneven wear can cause front tire not flush to pavement in cornering. Every hd fat bob bikes i have come across has this same problem. My own guess it is caused by front fork suspension/springs not correct. My tire pressures are always checked at least 2 times per week ... So it is not caused by under or over inflation. |
