Harley Fat Boy Stage One Vance Hines Big Radius - bike pulls to left?
I’ve had loads of biggish bikes over the years and most of them never run true due to shot head gear and bearings etc. Finally, I get my newish Fat Boy but there’s a distinct drift to the left which has annoyed me.
I just realised that the stock exhausts are quite heavy. The dealership stripped these off and fitted a Stage One with Vance Hines Big Radius (I think) for me before delivery, so I can’t compare. Now I happened to move the box with the stock exhausts tonight and thought, “woah, heavy”.
Then the penny dropped. By adjusting my fat arse on the seat, I can simulate approximately how heavy these exhausts are, and as if by magic, it cures the drift - but it’s too late. I can’t re-add the weight.
Is that it? Am I stuck with the drift? Let me know.
