2019 streetglide handlebar shake
Morning, 2019 streetglide. It's had this issue since I bought it and I can't take it anymore... Hwy speed up to 75mph handle bars are rock solid steady. 75-85 I get a ferocious forward/ rear shake of the bars. Taking the front wheel in to check balance today. Doesn't seem to be any excessive play in bars or tree... any advice?

I'm at 25k. I bought the bike from the dealership with 16k on the odometer... they did the 15k check up. When I asked about the 75-85mph shake they said they couldn't find it and that they couldn't ask their tech to break the law by going above the speed limit

The deal with the windshield I actually saw on a video of a guy that took his 2019 Street Glide with a built motor to the drag strip on the weekends. Towards the end of his runs he would get front end shake. Someone suggested ditching the windshield as a test and sure enough the shake went away. I think he had one of those short recurve shields. I guess it created just the right kind of turbulence to shake the front end because the fairing is bolted to the forks instead of the frame.
