shim that sagging front bumper
on my 04 heritage, one side had too much gap.
you'll need:
13/16" deepwell socket & ratchet wrench
(4-6) 1/2" hole large pattern steel washers
on my truck, there are 4 studs & nuts that mount the bumper assy to the frame. loosen the opposite side 1st, then remove the nuts from the side to be adjusted. pull the bumper assy out far enough to slip 2-3 washers on the top stud, then slip it back on & reinstall the nuts snug. snug up the opposite nuts & check the gap. i used 1 thick washer & it looks close enough.
cheers
