That pinch bolt acts to produce a stable lower end of the rectangle made up from the top to the bottom of the fork. It restricts flexing of the fork when steering or braking inputs are applied. The absence of the pinch bolt clamping effect will produce flexing around the steering head axis that could even bind the fork tube slider if you were to hit a substantial bump while braking hard. It would probably put you into a "tank slapper" if you're going fast enough (read high side). Your mechanic is a goof ball! Go tell the dealer owner what he said and get his ass fired before he kills somebody! He should never work on anything with less than 4 wheels. tommyturbo2
