Know what? I think they have one on the Tri-Glide. Should also be able to put it on any Touring bike.

So is there no steering dampener? I have been searching and I don't seem to be able to find one. Everything I have found is swing-arm stabilizers.

 

I don't know of one, but my experience of Harleys suggests their handling problems can be sorted out with other solutions.

What is it about your bike you would like to improve? We can probably provide a solution!

 

There is one that works and looks good too. The Harley one off the trikes is the only one I found and I looked high and low. It's over $600.00 but mounts right and looks right when it's done. V-Twin has a few different ones but you get what you pay for. The HD one is on B/O right now and you have to order the brackets to go along with it.

Good Luck

 

When I change lanes and the pavement is uneven, I get a little tank slap (sport bike term). I am no expert but it does not feel like the back-end walking out. The bars wobble back and forth. Scared the crap out of me a few times. I say it's the front cause it is the exact same thing if I wiggle the bars when I go down the road. BUT.... I could be wrong. I usually am, or so all the girls I date tell me.

You guys would know more than I would. All my years of riding has been sport bikes. I have added the 07 SG to my garage now. Love it but want to get rid of this death wobble.

 

Steering dampers are designed for super sport bikes that have virtually no trail for quick steering, head shake in a bike like that can be an issue if you hit a bump under hard cornering. A harley on the other hand has an excessively large amount of fork rake and trail in the front wheel by comparison. This gives it slow to very slow steering response (slowness increases with rake) but great strait line stability. With steering geometry like a HD, I cannot see any advantage to a steering damper. Also the frame is not stiff enough on a cruiser design to handle a steering damper. A steel frame on a cruiser has some flex built into it unlike a rigid aluminum frame found on a super sport.

Head shake on a Harley is usually a sign of worn out steering head bearings.

 

Thanks for the info Tony! I will check the steering head bearings.

Anyone else have a issue like what I described if it is not the bearings?

 

i have the same issue I have been told either front tire or neck bearings i will start with the tire. bearings is a big job.

 

I know one exists. I have seen a Steering Stabilizer just recently on a bat wing bike. It was mounted to the left fork leg and went under the triple tree to what I would imagine a frame mounting point on the other side. I did not give it that much thought at the time as I felt that I had not experienced the need for one yet. but in my crotch rocket days... I had one on every bike that I owned.
