Is "wobble" a thing of the past with the M8?

2019 cvo road glide
Bike is currently in shop for a wobble/weaving with the front end. With 1k service just been completed now they’re finding rear drive belt way to tight, neck bearings to tight which helped a lot but front tire still trying to weave left to right doing 82-86 with accelerating and deceleration bring it on.....dealer waiting on ok from moco to approve further investigation

What no one has mentioned, in 2014, the Rushmore program was introduced which in addition to the frame and engine mount improvement from 2009, the fork size increased from 41 to 49mm and the upper forks were secured by a clamped upper triple tree instead of the thru bolt which did a poor job. I had an 07 Street Glide and even with mods (removed cow bells, added custom fork brace, racetech fork internals with stock height progressive springs, a bagger brace, Ohlin's rear shocks from Howard's Motorcyclemetal) and the handling of the new bikes compared to mine was better. Tracking, stability, all of it much improved on the 14's and newer.

Since 09 there have been numerous frame changes resulting in raising the Wobble threshold, my Heritage 114 Softail is probably their best to date, however still far behind other modern bikes. My BMW's for example are light years better in the handling department. Try one of the new K1600B models for example and no more or less expensive than any of the current HD models.....and they have over 160HP.
