I have a 2006 rk just installed front air ride and 23 front rim and tire. This weekend we rode to a local run and it seemed to be when reachING speeds around 70 it started to wobble or hit a little bump my bars would shake pretty bad and scared the crap out of me.....what could I do to fix this. I did notice that my front air was raised all the way up and on the ride home I had it lowered quite a bit. I also have an air ride on rear. Thanks for help in advance

 

A few things - check spoke tightness, tire inflation, front engine mount.

23" - I've always been told that above 21" you need to rake it - did you?

[edit] oops, just noticed, no spokes.

 

Rake it

 

All of my boyz with 23" have the same issue. One, went back to stock.

Regardless, that sure is a pretty bike.

 

Thanks for responding keithu....

tire inflation is correct and haven't checked front engine mount.

I did rake it, I installed the arles Ness 7 and 7

 

Kryingame : thank you it's just flat black for now so I could see where I'm going to rub and scrape

 

What size rear you have on the bike

16 or 17 or 18?

I'm thinking you are getting rear oscillaton which is causing handle bar movement at higher speeds.

I would check rear tire pressure go by the sidewall not the book or your buddies advice. Run Max pressure especially if it's a metzler.

Check rear swing arm bushings and the cleve bushings. Most are worn out by 12k miles. Replace with bearings if replaced. Sta bo or glide pro

Get a rear stabilizer.

Last, that big bat wing is not helping. But if it's not a bolt on, then best advice is slow down

 

It's a 16 and I will recheck air pressure as for swing arm I will look into that as well I only have 3500 miles yes I know it's low

I'd check the wheel/tire balance and also the neck bearing (I think that's what it's called).
Just my 2 cents.
