HI all My rear fender on the left is one inch lower than on the right. I can feel the lean sitting and riding the bike. It rides,handles and tracks fine. I have look underneath and can see nothing loose or broken. 2017 harley triglide 24,ooo miles Any thoughts or ideas whats going on. Thanks GOD Bless Dennis
 
It's hard to say without getting under there and shaking some stuff, but my guess would be bad shock or loose mounting bracket on that side

The bolts that hold the body to the frame might have come loose ...Or it might have been that way from the factory....That was a fairly common problem , My 2011 Triglide came misaligned from the factory...
 
just the basics maam just the basics

I should know better where do you start, out riding this morning and the light bulb came on or lightning hit, all the above. Stop and check the tire pressure and then put four lbs in the left tire so both are the same. Problem is gone just like that Thanks for the input

The KISS effect strikes again

Good it was an easy fix:clapping:
 
Last winter I removed the body on my 17 to install the new shocks and just check everything because my trike looked unlevel. After taking every measurement under the sun it must be the body mounts, so after making some shim plates it is now better but not perfect.
 
It seems this problem was showing up on many 2011 models after H-D started building them at York instead of Lehman in South Dakota.
