Wide Glide Neck Issue

By Mark DiPietro

Question for Fix My Hog

I have a 2001 HD Dyna FXDWG with what they call a wide glide knock in the neck area. Have been told it’s a common thing for a Dyna. Is there any cure for this?

What you describe typically occurs when the neck adjustment is extremely loose or when the fuel tank is loose.

    That's interesting you called out the loose feul tank. I had 2 people come into my shop in the last year complaining of a knocking noise in their frontend. Both times I took it for a test drive it on a bumpy road & came back with a loose gas tank diagnoses.

    Does this problem apply to a 2011 triple x trike?

    2020 FLHC M8 107 Blow-By. Having heavy Blow-by even after 1 qt. less in oil... What is the best DIY Head Breather - External Breather System. I have a currently Stage 1 Screamin Eagle round part# 29400355. Found no solution. On order Stage 1 Screamin Eagle Ventilator air cleaner kit part# 29400299. On back order. What can be done. No help from Harley-Davidson, just run with less oil. (still having Blow-By) I run around 2400-2800 rpms.

    My handlebars shake bad when I hit 65mph. The bushings seem ok. And it's just the bars not the whole 2010 Flstc
