Would anyone have any idea that would cause a front end shake @45mph on my '07 FXD? It has 10k on it now. Strted doing ove the last 1500 miles and seems a little worse now. I'd like to remedy this before Rolling Thunder this weekend.....thanks for your help!

Also...take a close look at the tire, slowly rotating it...you may find a "bubble" in the tire.

All of the above, but my friend had a similar problem, but at that lower of a speed he was cruising in 5th or 6th already and would lug the engine some and shake the bike.

fork bearings need adjusting (probably tightened up) , wheel spokes need tightening, check them every 5 k or so, wheel bent or out of balance, front motor mount gone bad, front tire might need replacing. Even too much or too little tire pressure will cause a wobble or vibration. Good luck with finding the problem. Lots of good correct advice listed above.
