Don't think I'd own another softail, but sometimes you have to do what you got to do!

Ditch the apes, lose the wheel barrel handles and put a stock sized front tire on the bike. Most of your issues will be solved.

Too funny, evidently you haven't been around long enough to have enjoyed the Vicia builds that went on in here.

Man everywhere you go you just carry a ray of sunshine with you don't you? Are you old and impotent or young and married to an ugly battle axe? Those are the only two reasons I can think of for having 3000 posts worth of bitter bullshit spewing from your wretched mouth. Like you say nothing positive, ever. Just cry after cry for attention. Maybe your wife beats you and your coworkers look down on you for the BO and you just can't even get respect from the barista at Starbucks once a month when you can afford that Triple latte? I don't know. But it's impressive to have that much bitterness and animosity in every single post you make.

OP, good lookin ride man. Enjoy.

I've read enough posts on here from people who have a high speed wobble. Everything in my first post goes towards solving those issues.

I stopped reading your post after the first few words. To be fair, you made someone else laugh so I guess that you didn't completely waste your time...
