Hey Chop.&nbsp\\; Sorry I don't have a knowledge based answer for you.&nbsp\\; After I built my 21" wheel and had the dealer true it up, I spent a fair amount of time looking at it as I rode to see if I noticed any wobble.&nbsp\\; I did not notice any at all.

Mine does on my stock SB wheel. No big deal. I think my 18" apes make the wobble seem worse than if they were lower but it's not like high-speed wobble that you can't get out of.

Maybe Your tire is getting old, bad pattern. Try to rebalance the front wheel. Change to a radial one as I did. Only good stuff to say about the radial change.

I had some wobble which was more pronounced at certain speeds. I checked tire pressure, steering head, etc. and it wasn't until I went with a set if different tires that it was eliminated. Now it's a smooth as glass up to 100.

if you're not feeling it, but only noticing it... i suspect it's just the way the tire was molded... mine is like that too, a bit
