Default 2004 Fatboy Unstable
I have a 04 Fatboy and was wondering if they make a cross under dual exhaust for it?

Inflate the tires to the pressure.
Tire pressure is a big deal with bikes and fall temp swings can really change things quickly

I'm willing to bet you have less than 15 psi in your tires.

Checking the pressure was the first thing I did and I added some but that wasn't the problem.

Shocks ok? Wheel bearings? Swingarm bushings? Also check your steering head bearings.

The Shocks are good and I'm going to have everything else check before riding season. Thanks

Do the tires have plenty of tread?

That's one of the things I'm changing before riding season however the thread in the center of the wheel reaches the top of the head on a penny.

How old are the tires? If they are more that a few years old, the rubber will have hardened and provide poor traction.
