Below is a video of a wobble I get on my 15. In the video, you can see a wobble start during a left sweeper but it's mild and then, really get going on a right sweeper. The video does not do the seriousness of wobble justice as can be seen in the right sweeper. You can see that I was fighting the wobble and the lean so much so that I was being forced to the outside of the lane. Some of this was me trying to slow the bike down a little as well as straighten it up as leaning just got the back end really bucking hard. I can tell you though that from past experience on this turn, if I would have held my lane, it would have tossed me from my bike. I can reproduce this at speeds from 85 and up.
2015 CVO Limited with 29,400 miles
Pro Action 13" rear shocks
The rear tire is oem and has about 5k miles on it.
The front tire is oem and has about 7500K on it.
I have ridden for 35 years all the way from 5hp mopeds, dirt bikes, street bikes, track bikes and cruiser.
This is on a toll road where the posted speed limit is 75 and you will get run over if not doing 85.
My point is not to ask how to fix it as there are different trains of thought on this. It is more to tell you all that the wobble is still present. I am thinking about having my wife follow me with a GoPro recording to capture it from behind.
Ignore the date stamp, it's wrong.... My C3 dash cam seems to reset the date every now and again.
