Front end wobbles after installing a fairing.
Well I have a fld switchback (dyna) and a installed a full fairing (reckless motorcycles) it's fine 99% of the time except when I'm overtaking or similar at 75mph esp once I get arround the other veh.
To me it feels like I'm getting some lift or similar in the front. And get a bit of a wobble happening, Only time I have ever felt anything even similar is when I overfilled my hilux with rocks for the garden and the front was also very light feeling.
Tyres are 5 years old (admittly heaps of tread left) but there on the cards.
I'm also waiting for a 8" screen to replace the 5" maybee it will add a touch more down force.

If you are still running the OE riser bushings, you need to check them. The rubber OE bushings tend to disentergrate under normal use; the added load of the faring will cause them to wear out even faster--much faster. I don't think this is the main source of your problem, but worth a check.

I do have new bushes though, I'm getting the front blacked out so they will be replaced then with some arlen Ness units
