loose triple tree???

(1/3) > >>

HEADPAN62:
every time I stop alittle hard on the front brake I can hear a (click) in the front end,I asumed it was a loose adjustment on the f.end so I disasembled the front end and checked adjustment and it was ok...It seems my top tree is clicking on the bottom tree stem..If I loosen the stem nut,you can see the top tree only moving and the stem is stationary...Egged out top tree???wrong adjustment nut??The bottom adjustment nut(under top tree) has a sleeve so the top tree countersinks into it..(maybe not machined to spec???) anyone else had this issue,thanks,,,headpan

I've got the same issue with my DWG, though I've never figured out what it was.  INterested to see what you come up with.

I'm interested in hearing what you find out. I just bought a 2001 SERG with 20k miles. great bike. Purchased from same dealer where I've bought other HDs. they did 20k service, including servicing the front end. I figured the noise is from either fork spring binding or a sticking fork seal. I haven't check the triple tree, but will now. Let us know what you find.

ride safe, ride often, ride far!

OK,
 Here is the fix. This is from two different Harley wrench's. Loosen the lower triple tree bolts. Then tighten the top nut to where your fall-away is about 2 to 2.5 inches. Yes it is over factory spec. but they say that's the fix that works.

Good luck
