I bet your mates have experience wobble on many bikes throughout their riding journey, if they ride hard. I suspect they just never mention it as it is a part of riding any bike hard.

It would be like renaming a tank slapper the Dyna Death Slapper 😂

Because I love my poorly designed, rubber mounted piece of **** bike more then any other soul-less, German or Jap bike you would probably call “properly designed”. Even when I had a couple of those new softails that you must love, I sold them and went back to my Dyna. Let people like what they like, and go support what you like. Stop bashing something just because you don’t like it. Don’t understand people that have the need to do that. I really don’t.

I satisfied my need for speed, handling and the latest technology when I bought my Kaw Z900RS last winter.
I also replaced my aging Stage II Road King with an '02, Stage I, Dyna Lowrider this past September. I have no intentions of any further upgrades to it at this time. I just ride the damn thing, a lot.
(It's funny, when I feel the need to just go for a ride, the Harley is usually my first choice.)

Karen, I like it when you suddenly think you exactly know what I like or not. You know me better than myself. Amazing.

Anyways, I’ve only stated facts. Nothing more, nothing less, haven’t even given my own opinions yet lol. And people getting butt hurt by actual scientifically facts about the Dynas rubber mount PROVEN issues looool.

Well, I should’ve been smarter thinking I could enlighten others about the problem and how to fix it, but then again, we are people. We are build differently. Some can handle the truth, others can’t. Some are open minded, others are closing their eyes and ears but not their mouth. Thank god we’re different, I guess

Never experienced it, although I have eliminated it for a few peope on various models. Head bearings, swingarm bushings, tires, to motor mounts.
Maintaining a bike along the way is important.

Default After company spin balance

They never said anything. On a long ride my front end wobbled above highway speed. After a glance I could see bearing falling on the ground in front of me. Yikes!!! However a good thing came of the situation, the dealer charged 10% less to smooth the run and a new set of bearings.

I have over 15,000 miles on mine, I've gone pretty fast on it, and I haven't experienced this yet.

“Karen”. That’s the first funny thing you’ve said. Do you even know what that means? Don’t bother replying, you’re now on my ignore list. Have a nice life, Richard.
