buffetting/shaking.
Ideas on what would cause my '24 Road Glide to have front end shake/buffeting increase as speed increases, from 60 mph and up.
I have had it to the dealers several times, and the most they found was a right front brake rotor out of spec. I have put 200 miles on the bike since then.
2 different dealers have ruled out brake issues. One dealer thinks maybe suspension issues. I know its not just a helmet buffeting thing because at 80 mph, I duck my head far enough behind the windshield so I feel no wind, making sure its not just my helmet moving.
Any thoughts or ideas or speculation is welcome at this point.
thanks...

The tire is ballance and after 900 miles I can not see anything wrong with the tire. HOWever, I do have plans, when I save some $$$ to replace the front tire. 2 different dealerships have said nothing is wrong.

Tire mounted wrong
I had a 2020 FXLRS and it would do the same thing. I took it to the HD dealer and they couldnt figure it out. I then took it to a Indy shop and the mechanic took the tire off the rim, installed it and balanced the tire. The problem was solved. Good luck.

What windscreen do you have? I saw a Travelling Tall video on YouTube where he had the same problem (at the drag strip). He removed the windscreen and the problem went away. My 24 is perfectly stable up to the limiter with a Klockwerks
