Well today i rode my new road king to work about an hour and change all highway. The bike seems to have a strange wiggle at 55+ faster you go more pronounced it gets, its almost as if you watch the bars you can see them wiggling left and right slightly causing the front end to wiggle at speed , any idea how to cure this ? I thought it was tires had them replaced also had wheel bearings replaced

 

I should also add all other times aside from going straight on highway at those speeds the bike feels solid

 

Is the steering really loose when you have the front tire off of the ground?

Mine was, and I tightened it according to the "fall away" method in the manual.

I also had a REALLY bad wiggle at low speeds.

 

Read some on "bagger wobble"

 

I've read about bagger wobble that's not what this is , this I'd like the bars are loose left to right at higher speeds not the swingarm

 

(sigh)

 

I'm thinking its probably the steering head needs to be tightened , I asked original owner he said he never adjusted it in 20k since 1996

 

Tighten you neck bearings a little and see if that helps.

 

I will try that

 

Yeah, I'd look at the steering neck bearings. I've had them do that to me and I used to have to tighten them up. I haven't had a problem with them since I stopped pulling the front wheel off the ground (also stopped having to replace drive belts....)
