front end wobble on acceleration 07 Superglide
Ok I am about to lose my mind, I have an 07' Superglide, 31k, new front tire, new wheel bearings, repacked neck bearings, checked fallout, new brake rotor, and bilke has a wobble on acceleration. When you lighten up on throttle and cruise it stops. Dosen't happen on braking or at speed. Thinking it could also be the front tire needs to be balanced. Did all this to stop a wobble that started last year at low speeds, which has gone away. Any Help would be great.

If bigbdass's '07 Superglide is like mine, he doesn't have tuneable spokes. Besides under acceleration, the front tire should basically be eliminated from being a contributor to the wobble, the wobble would be more pronounced at a constant high speed if it were a trueing or balance issue.
I'm still thinking that since his wobble only happens under acceleration, that it has to do with the torsion on the rear end due to the drive belt pulling the swingarm to the side or twisting it when under power.
I've raced bikes in the desert with flat front tires and bent rims, but under power they still felt great.
