Softail Speed Wobble
I have a 2006 FXST softail i get a death wobble at speeds above 120km i weigh 150lbs i have had other people the same weight ride it and they also get the wobble. I had a harley mechanic for 25 years look at it and he cant get it to do also had other friends ride it and again it wont do it. It seems like if your over 190lbs it does not wobble. The harley mechanic has checked the following and was going to check the rear suspension next.Everything seems to be in spec not sure what next step is any comments would be helpfull.
