Front end wobble
After rebuilding my front end on my fxst the new fork seals were leaking. It rode fine but they leaked. The harley tech said try and take out 2 oz fork oil. Then it developed a front end wable. So i put the 2oz back in still have the wable. New tire, new tube, new fork tubes,seals, tire balanced with ceramic beads. Wheel does not appear to be bent. Any thoughts. Could use any help you might have. Thanks, russ

Probably has nothing to do with the fork oil, do what the first reply to this thread said to do... don't force anything forks should slide in the trees easy with a little oil on them, axle should go through the lowers and turn easy before you tighten anything up.
