Jigged up in the tools that do that work that's... well...

Ok, I'd be as likely to doubt the dealer's diagnosis as I would that the machining was that far off.  Whatever is going on hope they get you sorted out.

Anyone else wondering if the dealership did something screw up a tree and it's just easier to blame the manufacturing process?

knowing the holes for the upper and lowers are milled (not drilled) had me scratching my head. They should have been done on the same axis, so how does that change?

How do you screw up a tree other than strip the threads on the nut?

I could eat my Wheaties and your Wheaties and still doubt I could strip that nut with any normal length torque wrench.  Have seen them cross threaded or get their threads buggered up as someone tried to beat/break off a bearing though.  

Who knows what they were doing?  Can't even know for sure that the shop actually did anything.  But it seems far more likely to me that a screwed up tree is a shop error than a machining mistake.  Just hard to get in my head how that mistake would happen.

If it wasn't screwed up at the factory just take it to my local dealer and they'll really mess it up.  They could screw up a steel ball !   >:(

Has there been any issues with front tire wear?

Got back from the honeymoon on Wednesday and picked up the bike on Thursday and all is well now with the handlebars. I asked the dealer if I could see the offending parts and they said they had been boxed up and sent to the MoCo. The service writer said they had been "line-bored" incorrectly.....whatever. It feels, rides and steers correctly now, so I'm happy with the results. It does have the lightest steering of any HD I have ever owned, so I can't wait to take it through the twisties too see how it tracks.
