08 road glide wobble
Have a 08 road glide. Wobbles at speeds from 35 to as far as 75.(so far) wobbles bad in all turn. (this is with light hold). All wobbles have been controllable so far. Harley corporate has to this point paid for front end rebuild/rear rebuild/5th gear replacement (thought as a possible cause?) and has also replaced the frame. Two Harley shops that have worked on this bike have no explanation of how to fix issue. Has been mentioned twice that motor vibrates a bit too much and maybe it is oscillating into frame. All this with no change in the attitude of the handling. Bike now has 43k miles. Have had 3 tire changes with no change. This has been a problem since the bike was nearly new. At this point i am going to Better Business bureau and see if i can get any help with this correction.

Check these out. The True-Track made a big difference in rear wheel tracking and wobble in high speed curves on my bike.
The motor mount took a significant amount of shake out of my bike especially in the front end. They have a front and back system but I only did the back and ended up with great results.
Good luck with your situation.

If you call either place after the holiday weekend you will find them very helpful with a ton of answers to your questions.
