That was awesome bro! Do you have a stock 103 with a stage one or did you do any other motor upgrades? I just loved watching the mph climb.
Unfortunately I don't have an idea of what would fix your issue with the shake just wanted to post to say I enjoyed the video. Lol
I'm subscribing to see what end up is.

I will chime in on this,because this is where my bike rides A LOT of the time,100-105mph. There is defiantly a shake there, and it's not just your bike OP. On my bike, I'm not sure if it's a shake or a vibration. Kinda like riding down an old brick road, that feel. I am going to ride a 15' today just to see if it's there, then a road glide also for comparison.

I got my last RK from the dealer in Monroe.


Actually I noticed quite a few roads in the area (mostly state roads) were very smooth.


But from Vadalia to Alexandria on us 84 turned out to be hit or miss w/traffic.


But Alexandria to Shreveport on the interstate was a dream. Hardly any traffic and rather smooth.


Many places to open it up. Very nice state and great riding.
Yes Sir, it's all in fun at least most of the time.
The wet weather down here has been keeping the roads clean and everything green. It's very pretty right now the bayous full as you cross a bridge, looks tranquil with the cypress trees. There's some river roads near by that was repaved last year with low traffic and some cane fields that you can see along way and open her up.

Thank you. Some may think I'm just showing off (ok maybe I am a little) lol. The bike has stage1 and 57h cams and was tuned by Kurt at The Bike Shop, with the TP off and a very low 4.5" wind splitter. Its no a crotchrocket by no means, but you can hit 110 and come right back down to legal speed in a short distance. It's a blast to ride .
There's some that say cams in these rushmores is a waste of money but it's more fun to ride with the cams in it.

Well they got the ride on sealant out of the front tire and balanced it normally. I have not had a chance to test it with all the rain and wet roads but will try a another video.

After removing sealant/balance material from the front tire it don't vibrate and start shacking like it did. After the first time it did it the steering head bearings felt loose so I adjusted the swing-back.

I had put new brake pads at the same time and thought that may have contributed to the shacking also but apparently the balance was the issue.
