steering problem on dyna?
after repalcing my rear tire on my street bob i pulled out of the shop and the bike spun out on me and did a 180 right in the middle of the street. brusied my ego more than anything but ive now noticed that the front steering is wobbbling at 65mph+. what gives? is the steering out of alignment or did i serious jack up the front end without realizing it. i was only doing about 5-10mph. any help would be helpful,

So when you "spun out" did you lay your bike down? If so it's common with what you have described for the front tire to hop and grab while being laid down, this can cause the forks to turn in the tree's, as well as the rim to bend. Forks twisting in the tree's is no big deal, up on the stand loosen pinch bolt realine the front tire. If the rim was bent you can either take it to get trued or you may have to replace the rim.
Need more info on what happened in the "spin out"

It should be mandatory shops tell you new rubber is a slip hazard. All the times of new rubber, I never knew, or never thought about it. Luckily didn't ever power out of the shop. Might be a thought of shops to "scuff" rubber after mounting.
Unfortunately a fellow did here. Dumped the bike in front of shop on highway. He was okay, pulling bike up got nailed by some idiot... HOW he was unseen we have no idea.
