Gents,

Has anyone successfully run a 23" front wheel with Pickard Trees and a 17x6.25 inch rear w/200 tire on a 2014-up Street glide?

At about 95-100, (yes i like to get on it every now and then) i start to get this wobble.

I found out after purchase and installation that Pickard says you have to run the stock rim size if you have a 2014-up touring bike. On 2013 and down you can run 16 17 or 18 inch rear. This sucks. Again wondering if any of you guys have made it work with success or am i going to have to swap out my rear. PITA!
Thank in advance

 

Have you checked the wheel bearings and balance of the tire yet....not sure they can get the wheel balancer up to 100mph to check that....

 

I'm running Ride-on so the balance should be fine. I had Ride-on in the 21" wheel too and it was fine.

JMC22 is that a 23 on your bike and if so what size rear are you running.
Thanks

 

...and what triple trees?

 

21" on the front, stock wheel on the back (can't see it so why change it)

 

cool. Thanks for the reply

 

Temps were up and much of this darn snow has melted so i was able to take the bike out. I got her up to about 100 and a stretch and there was no wobble. Has me thinking that maybe it was some wind turbulence that day i had experienced the wobble.

Still a trip to eastern is coming soon to have them check/tighten the neck preload adjustment.

Cant wait til this whether changes for good!

 

21 in front and go as fast as I want on my 2014 with no wobble.

 

I haven't been on here in a while but I wanted to update everyone so they don't make the same mistake.
I switched the 17 with 200 rear tire to a stock size (16 inch) wheel and tire. I still did the matching read from pm but now in a 16. Problem fixed. Hit 105 several times to test it out. Eastern Performance took care of me in getting this resolved both financially and technically.
I believe Pickard is now recommending stock 16 rear when you have a 23 up front with their trees

 

Stock rear for me on my 23" front wheel and rides very nice. I rode about 4 hours today and eve went hands free rolling at about 85 with no wobble on mine either.
