wobble

I have a 06 low rider with just over 2000 miles. i get a crazy wobble mostly at low speeds when i hit a crack or grove along the road. checked spokes and all seem good and tight.
Any one have any ideas what i should check or is this normal?

Not sure about the cause of you particular wobble. Did you check to see if the tire is balanced correctly?

I think you need to get out more though. 2000 miles is nothing. Are you the original owner?

I would check tire pressure,very important especially if you don't take it out often.It should be checked once a week!

What speed is "low speed"?

Low tire pressure could make the bike just not feel right and move kinda of sluggishly from side to side. The narrow tire up will amplify some road imperfections, I hate to say it but at times that the nature of the beast.

whatever the problem - the stock tire is not helping. the continuous center groove in the factory tires will track a crack or groove in the road. as mentioned - easy fall away or low tire pressure will make this even worse.
