RE: Will my warranty be voided, HD
If you're a fair wrench, look over your bike regularly, and have not paid for an extended warranty I would not pay the dealer for the services. The odds are with you that you'll come out cheaper in the end.

RE: Excessive fairing vibration
Well, I removed the outer fairing and discovered that both vertical support brackets were broken at the top were it attaches to the inner fairing. Instead of replacing them, I was prepared to repair them with the "L" brackets I bought from Wal-Mart. I had previously conducted a google search on broken inner fairing brackets and came up with a host of information on how to repair them from the hdforum site. The one thing that kept ringing in my head was. Why replace them if they are just going to break again down the road.
A couple of bucks for the L brackets. The screws' nuts and lockwashers I already had in the garage and an hours time the brackets were fixed and all fairing vibrations stopped.
A whole lot simpler than replacing both fairing support brackets and a more permanent fix.

RE: RB Racing Exhausts....
Howsit2003,
I'm curious as to what ecu/efi (blackbox)you'll be using with this RB racing pipe. I believe you'll have a hell of a time finding a map for it.

RE: Excessive fairing vibration
Thanks Slow,
I've reveiwed the removal procedure on the Fix My Hog DVD several times, and like you said, it's a whole lot better to do this with two people. I looked at the service manual this morning and I'm not quite clear as to what to look for as far as mounting screws, brackets and bolts go. It sure looks busy behind that fairing.
I may just let the dealer look at it when I bring it in for a new front tire change next summer.

Excessive fairing vibration
Just wondering if anyone has ever removed there outer fairing and tightend whatever screw/bolt to stop the fairing from viberating so much at idle. It seems to be worse on the right side. It started ratteling here recently when parked with the handlebars turned to the left.
I've got the service manual and I'm sure I can figure it out. Was
just wondering if someone has done this before.
Blue,
