Steering Damper Leaking 2013 Tri-Glide

[SEAlaskan]

There is a roll pin that holds it in place. If you go to Ronnies parts finder and look up 2008 FLTR Roadglide, subsection "Suspension Steering Stem w/Bracket you will see the parts picture break down

Got it, thank you. I'm not to that point yet, still have to put the engine back together, then I'll look at tightening up the steering which not looking forward to sence I might have to deal with the radio.

Any type of thin washer would work that had some way to block the turning. Just one tab the length of one flat would be sufficient to hold the nut. After all, all you are holding is position after the brg wears, or the cup seats in the frame. Not a lot of torque unless something locks up & you have to force the handle bars. Even then the shaft is pinned at the bottom.
The one washer that is shown in the parts is only 1/16" thick. Maybe just a 1" fender washer & a way to anchor it down.

I'll sure keep your suggestions in mind when I dive into the steering.
Thanks'

The radio isn't too terrible, you need some long ball end allens to make life simpler.

Thanks, I do have the long ball end allens, and I do have get into that area to remove some wires anyway. I'm removing the electric reverse switch from the handle bar since I now have the mechanical reverse.

Not sure if you have any switched accessories, but i use the switch block on the handlebar with a HD switch to turn the power on and off on my engine fan when its hot. Its a good place to add additional switches

I've been thinking about hanging on to the switch housing for the same reason plus other future add on.
