If I'm doing 65 to 70mph in my local area on highways, freeways, or any of the like, I do not have any issues and the suspension feels rock solid. I guess once all those rubber mounts really heat up is when the fun begins.
So tell us, how do you ride?

Hard to say. My SuperGlide Custom 2011 wobbles only at 75mph on desert-baked highways with either long grooves or tar patches. It will also wobble changing lanes if you hit the 2 inch deep hole they put the reflectors recessed into the highway out here. So much so, I intentionally avoid those holes when changing lanes, makes life interesting at 75mph. Also, it tends to wobble more once I've been on the road for over 4 hours, so I'm usually on my second or third tank of gas. If I accelerate to pass a big rig, while changing lanes, snapping into grooves from construction, and hitting tar patches (I-8 or I-10) then life gets really fun. Fun to the point it feels like it's going to tank-slap.

There's a reason it's called the 'death wobble'

No wobble on my '07 FXD since I ditched the Dunlops for Metzelers.
Wasn't that bad, though, even with the Dunlops.

Mine never wobbled with the stock Dunlops,that's why I replaced them with Dunlop K591's.

Never been there before. Parts of it were gorgeous, other parts.... The economy had evidently hurt it.
