'10 wide glide unstable stops

Does any one else have a bike that wants to wander all over the lane or just plain fall over when stopping? My other bike is an 01 indian scout and i have no problem with it at all. i've been riding most of my adult life and my new bike makes me feel like a fish out of water.

Have you checked the tires for abnormal wear or accurate tire pressure? bad motor mounts?

Have you taken the bike to the dealer, as it's clearly still under warranty.

I've had no problems with my '10 Wide Glide. Like SCL said, I'd have it checked out. Maybe the rear wheel is out of line?

How does the bike ride? Does it feel squirmy?

My 2010 WG Rides and stops AMAZING! But compared to my Sportster anything rides better!

A bike with such a raked out front end is never going to be the quickest steering bike. Its just a fundamental fact of mechanics. Should be stable though.

Presume you took a test ride. How does it compare to the bike you tested?
