My buddy has an 06 FLHTCUI and had the 95ci upgrade done. It clearly states in the HD Manual(the $75.00 one not the one that comes with the bike
) that the bike MUST be aligned after this upgrade. Our local HD shop performed the operation and when he questioned them about the alignment they said they test rode it and it was fine and did not need one. ??
They also had their alignment tool on loan to their sister shop in Cyrstal River he was told on another occasion after inquiring.
Well, he started looking to purchase his own alignment tool and found some company in Canada that makes most of the tools for the US (OTC or TLC or something with a O and a C in it) and the referred him to a distributer which was a national parts chain that happened to be a supplier to his garage (he's a mechanic). So he called the parts manager at this national parts chain about getting one from this Canadian company and after lots of calling around he was told that they could only sell that alignment tool to an official HD service shop and no one else.
I called a dealer out of town and gave them the part # HD46247 (I think) and as soon as I gave the parts manager the number he said he could tell me right away that he could not get that part from HD but would inquire about an after market tool. This was a simular response I got from my local dealer about a month ago and have never heard back from the on it.
So all that to ask this: does anyone know where my friend can purchase an alignment tool for his (and my
) own personal use???
Thanks !!
