You can make them go perfectly straight - you just need to raise your viewing horizon when you're going slow(don't look directly ahead of you). Also, it is a by product of the long front end..harder to steer... I have limited issues with low speed maneuvering/... practice makes perfect.

Slow wide glidin
Yep, you're right. Wide glides do not want to go slow and straight at the same time. It gets worse with two up. Beer stops don't help either. I suppose hour after hour in some empty parking lot some where helps but then reality sets in during funerals and parades. In the wind.

Just kidding, suffer the same with mine, and put the old lady on and it gets worse like what Pops said.
Used to have a Sporty with a 13" over Fury Girder front end, now that was a bike that didn't like to go slow..
I just wait till the car in front of me gets about 4-5 car lenghts ahead then ride up to them and wait for another gap, no sense in moving each time the car in front moves up 5-6 foot.

I used to have this problem, but in SoCal we get a lot of practice with low speed riding and eventually I learned how to handle the bike and I don't have this issue anymore. It is worse with 2 up, but i've grown accustomed to that too and no longer have an issue.
