I notices an unusual wear mark on the very tip of my front fender as if the tip was hitting the wheel. When I went to wipe off the debris I found my front fender hanging by threads and one bolt missing. What is the first thing that your found loose on the ULY? What other bolts/nuts should I look for that typically fall off the Uly. My first after market part on my Uly will be a bolt...... | ||

I lost one of the two bolts on the front of the lower fairing. Lost it after the Hardley dealer did the 1K service(Oil filter replacment requires taking of the fairing). I checked the others and a number of them were lose. Seems as if they did not bother using any lictit on them. I went ahead and used Loctite blue and reset them.Needles to say other than big jobs I will be doing all the work on my Uly from now on. | ||

What did you expect? Bolts are supposed to fall off a Harley/Buell...Loctite the little allen bolts that connect the shifter linkage...mine feel off with a group of BMW riders and the linkage was hanging down...they loved that..Luckily the bolt was still hanging on the dangling linkage at 60mph. Go over every nut/bolt/screw you can find like the air scoop(3 screws)with blue loctite. | ||

I've been told I have a screw loose, but for the life of me I can't figure out where it is...  | ||

Probably the one that fastens the marbles that you lost.  | ||

The Uly is my first H-D/Buell product. I expected fasteners to be vibrating loose all over the place, but in over 37K miles I haven't lost even ONE! Knock on wood, I guess. And I don't use threadlocker very faithfully, either...probably an accident waiting to happen in there somewhere. | ||

I've had zero problems with the Uly spitting off threaded parts (the Buell assemblers are liberal with threadlocker and that's not a bad thing.) The tubers will shed some parts if you don't stay on top of things, but I've found that a bit of maintenance and some LT blue makes life pretty easy. | ||

I had two fall out of the dealer installed hard bag mounts on my Uly. Our Blast has lost six in the past two years.the thumpin little bastard any ways. | ||

Well a quick trip to my Buell/Harley dealer remedied the situation. Now my machine is back to OEM spec. Nylon Flat Washer: $0.30 Shoulder Screw: $2.25 bought an extra for the toolbox. | ||

One of the mysteries of life: Why does blue loctite come in a red tube? |
