Please read the following information and spread where necessary within your service network. We have had a few warranty cases regarding problems with the length adjustable end eye on HD 504. Since HD 503, HD 505 and HD 506 are of the same design this information is valid for all of these 4 product part numbers.
To prevent and solve these issues we have prepared this service kit with a fixed end eye to replace the adjustable one and the length corresponds to the max adjustment length for the 01061-01, 01058-01 combination (see drawing below).
When you receive an HD 503, HD 504, HD 505 or HD 506 for service of any kind, the adjustable end eye shall be replaced with this end eye 01054-58 together with thicker bump rubber 00564-02. Please look at WSM 07606-01 sides 17 and 18 starting at step nr two for information on how to do the exchange.
With this modification HD 503 and HD 504 will get 330mm fixed total length and HD 505 and HD 506 will be 336mm.
