eliminating high speed wobble in touring bike
I have 2006 rkc that has bad wobble at 120 mph.I was wondering if anyone knows away to stabilze bike.There few items that claim to do so.And know getting off throtttle and not going that fast is not acceptable answer.Been 240 mph in under 5.8 second 1/4 mile in dragcars so speed is a must.not being smart just getting off that answer from some of those on this site.

RE: eliminating high speed wobble in touring bike
If you have this need for speed trade the Harley for a sport bike and please stayfar, faraway from me and everyone else.
Every bike will experiencewobble it is just a question ofthe speed(s) at whichit occurs and how violent it is.
It is affected by weight, weight distribution, aerodynamics and many other factors.
Some guysclaim to"power through" the wobble, itmay go away at higher speeds and itwill definately wobblewhen you slow down again too.
If this isbad at 120 it is probablynoticeable at around 115 andwill probably be muchworse at 125.
Drag cars may be builtto run240 MPHand plenty of them crash.
Your bike is simply not designed for racing or high speeds.
CanI take out life insurance on you?

man piasspj sick man f___ing dead people is just sick.The reason for original post was to see if anyone had tried any of the things that are surpose to elimanate the wobble.I know cutting neck and adding 4 to 6 degrees rake will help but trying to find another way to fix bad engineering.
