Title: Anything special about pulling the front wheel off of a Springer?
Post by: Jjdafisher on May 16, 2019, 12:12:53 AM

Bike needs a new tire on the front so bought 1 and now I want to pull the rim off to take it into the shop for the tire swap. I've pulled front tires off of other harleys just not a springer. Anything I need to be concerned with? Anything under pressure on the Springer front end that I need to be careful of? Guidance from someone who has experience would be great. Thanks in advance. Jay

Nope, just lift it and pull wheel, just remember spacer location. Only time you need to worry about the spring tension is when rockers need service. :drink:
