Hi fron Maple Grove, MN. Question about CVO front wheel weights
« on: July 04, 2012, 03:51:55 PM »
I have a 2011 CVO Road Glide. Has anyone else had problems with the front wheel weights coming loose, flying off and damaging the front fender? Apparently, HD is aware of the problem, and the damage is covered under warranty (in my case). Does anyone have a recommended solution?

Yeah this has happened to a couple of folks here already. Fenders got replaced and there was talk of people trying dyna beads to balance the tires but I'm not sure who actually used them. I don't know if I have fender damage but I heard a loud thunk last year and noted a nick in my left slider. Didn't hear of this until after I was back in Iraq so I'll have to wait a bit to see if the weights are still on mine or just what.

Search around a bit and you'll find other cases of this happening.

Welcome to the site glad to have you join us. :2vrolijk_21:

Regarding wheel weights you can eliminate them and use dyna beads. Do a search on the site and you'll find many posts/threads about them.

Welcome and it's not just the front wheel, had two come off the back and got picked up by the drive belt and jammed  the final drive gear. Had to have the dealer fish them back out, rebalance no charge.

Welcome from a former fellow Minnesotan (Coon Rapids) now in South Florida.   :divers009:

Regarding wheel weights -  happened to me just over a year ago.  HD replaced the fender and put "different" set upon balancing the tires (replaced both front and rear).  haven't had any challenges since then.  Do have to wait about 6 weeks for the fender however.  Other than that, no challenges with the bike and it's now got 17k on it.  Love the bike!

Enjoy the new ride!
