Took the bike out for the first good ride today, Dam snow. Anyways, bike seems to drift alot side to side, and I seem to be fighting the riding in the wind more than last year. Only thing I changed over the winter that could affect handling was the neck bearings. Put the new neck bearings and races in, tightened up (manual doesn't call for torque specs on 88 fxsts). I never tried the fallaway test (will this weekend), I'm just nor sure what the issue could be other than that, it really has me second guessing riding. Any thoughts on other things to check, air pressure good new tires, wheel bearings, shocks last year.

 

Sounds like you did the neck bearings up too tight mate....that or the snow is making the tyres slip about ;-)

 

I'm asuming it is springer front end,so you may need to change all of the bushings in the forks.
