Wobbly Front End
I was wondering if someone could help me or has the same problem on thier bob, my front end tends to get the wobbles at about 70-80 miles per hour, its not all the time, but enough to keep me fighting it. I have just changed handle bars to western style bars, and have noticed the wobbles to be more consistant, any suggestions.

I don't know how true it is, but the dealer told me that the spoke wheels are not stable enough and that is why he put the upgraded rims on my bike. I didn't choose them, I bought the dealers bike that he built for himself. I have been well over 100 and never had the slightest shake. I think the problem is in your spoke wheel.

could be a miriad of things or a combo of several...loose spokes, bent rim, fall away....could even be the cupped wear on the front tire or tire itself.

RE: Wobbly Front End
I have an 03 wide glide with spoked rim in front. All I can tell you is that I have no wobble at speed. My Friend has an 05 Low Rider, spoked front wheel and no wobble at any speed. Hope it's a simple fix at dealer (stealer?).

RE: Wobbly Front End
I was getting a little wobble at high speed (85-90mph) on my '07 Bob, finally checked the air pressure in my tires at about 700 miles on the bike (yes I know, dumb to not have done this sooner) front tire was about 10 PSI low, that made all the difference!
