High speed wobble
#11
What brand fairing? I would suspect if it didn't do it prior to fairing install the angle of the fairing may be whats messing with it. Pics, video would help. May want to give Glenn from Woody' fairings a call. I run his fairing and I did the install at his place with his help. He had a lot of info why the fairing had to be mounted with in certain angles. That was about 9 yrs ago so I don't remember all of it and don't want to pass wrong info. here is a link to his website

Did you install the fairing? (don't think I saw anything about the install).
Like stated two up may make things worse (possibly allot worse).
If it was me I would pull the fairing off and see if the wobble goes away.
Especially before adding stuff to fix a problem you don't fully understand.
How much adjustment is in the fairing (at installation)?
Everything has adjustment, one way or the other.
Just because they say it bolts right up doesn't mean it fits right or doesn't cause other issues and need fine tuned.
Nice looking bike by the way.

Hey, I was hoping for some insight with anyone who may have put on an after market fairing on a softail. I have a 2011 CVO Convertible and wanted to make it a softglide. Unfortunately, I have a very bad weave/wobble that looks like and feels like the death wobble. I have had the front neck bearings checked out along with some adjustment and rear end checked out with a little tightening of the shocks. I am going to try finding a steering damper, not much luck finding one so far and boy do they look yucky. I am also going to try riding two people as soon as I get another set of pegs.
Any advice (besides lose the fairing)?

stabilizer
Not have much luck finding one for a softail yet. You saying modify the mounts and get sport bike stabilizer?

Yes, I installed it and there are just two brackets that come straight from the fairing and slide down on the fork for quick release. The only way to get movement would be to change how it is mounted to the fairing. I think I will take my fairing off and see what happens. thanks for advice and for compliment on my bike. :-)
Wondering What happened??? hope your OK
