There's Hertz, and there's "not exactly"...

When I hit sharp bumps, it sounds like the shocks are bottoming out, or the spring is loose, or something. Hoping it goes away with a few more miles.

Sounds exactly like my 2005 FJR. Do you hear it near the top of the tubes? also, while in the garage, are you able to hear it when squeezing the front brake and rocking the bike for and aft (compressing and extending the front forks with some force)?

Congrats on the new ride!

*****************************

YES! I do hear it that way! What the hell is it??

Had an 08 pass me on the highway this morning. I think the black is absolutely gorgeous. Bike was very clean and had a great shine on it and looked fantastic. Discussing picking mine up tomorrow.

That had to have been mine if it was gorgeous :yahoo: :yahoo: . My BT021s have about 3500 mi. on them now (5 weeks) and still look great.

Figured out my shock noise problem. The dealer failed to torque up the steering stem nut (the 36MM top nut). I put a wrench to it, and my noise went away. Think I did any damage to the bearings by putting 285 miles with a loose stem nut?
