Sounded Like Something Broke???

(1/4) > >>

mariner227:
I heard a sound while I was riding. It sounded like a bolt breaking off ( LOUD ). I looked back expecting to see parts on the road. The bike was fully loaded, maybe a little overweight. I checked the shock mounts, frame, and anything else that I could think off.

The bike still feels fine under all conditions.  Maybe the Sundowner bucket buckled under the weight of my BFA and the weight of the FC I was hauling? Any ideas would be welcome.

Jeffd:
ya sure it was not a backfire?

Definetly not a backfire. The bike is a 2010 Ultra with 20 k miles. The noise sounded serious. Like an axle braking or a shock mount breaking off the frame. Maybe something internal on the rear shocks?

War Horse:
That's a tuff one, sound like some exploratory surgery is in order. Sorry I cant help ya here, just to many things to address.
