Rough Riding Front End
The front end on my 2014 ultra is so rough that the Ultra Badges on the fender shook loose. Don't remember my 2009 Ultra being that rough a ride. Anyone else think they ride a little rough? Maybe my tire is out of round?
I cross a short, rough section of road on my way home from work and the front end of my 2014 Limited definitely feels it worse than my 2007 Ultra did. I didn't even know it was a rough section until I got this new Limited. Feels like it's going to rattle the front end apart.

Riding very rough would be abnormalty that i would have the service department check.
First thing would be either the tire has way too much air or may be sightly out of balance, Axel nut torque, handlebar/front-end settings or some other settings that i am not aware of.
Have it checked to insure all is secure and safe.

[QUOTE=Hammz;13194725]Mine rides really well.
Of course, I've changed the internals for upgraded components.
Hey Hammz what did you do to upgrade your front end... I have had my 2014 Limited at the three dealers and they tell me oh thats how it is... I have a wobble at Hwy speeds over 60-70 and omg at 80mph. one dealer kept it for a week and I got it back and could barley turn the handle bars... took it back and they tell me they have replaceed head set bearings.... still has wobble
Looking for any help anyone 15K miles seeems to have started after I had the Chrome front end installed about 4-5 months ago

I installed this. Sounds like they messed things up when they installed your chrome lowers?
