Default 2013 Road King Death Wobble
Need some help here. I have a 2013 FLHR with approx 54,500 miles. I've had a death wobble for the last year and a half if I'm doing anything over 70. The smallest bump and it loses its ****. Today for instance I was doing 80 on the highway, hit a bump and had a violent wobble (thought I was done for to be honest) but managed to save it. I've taken it to multiple mechanics and we cannot figure out wtf the problem is. Anybody had something similar and solve it? Any help would be nice. Thanks y'all.

Rear swing arm bushings/ bearings are typically the culprit. I had a bit of rear wobble years ago and installed a TruTrak on the rear swing arm. This attached frame to swing arm and tightened everything up. Google TruTrak and see what they say.

The only true track stuff, I've seen connects the tranny to the frame, they do nothing for the swing arm.

Yeah.... you're right.... swing arm is not hooked up to TruTrak. I forgot it's been so long since I've seen the bike!!!! But that still helped with the wobble I had!
Thanks for the reminder!
