Oh man, I have only the Lord to thank for noticing that my front tire seemed oddly too close to one side of the springer fork .... The large 4 inch top bolt that ties the 2 rear portions of the springer together was originally BLUE (medium weight) Locktited. Apparantly not strong enough ... On inspection,the bolt had less than 3 turns to go before the front downtubes would have gone west and east at the same time .... Now I've RED locktited this large tie bolt and caution everyone to remember to thread lock that tie bolt and inspect the tightness often ... this would be a catastrophic accident at any speed over 10 miles an hour,those springer legs are like pivoting spears.
