07 deuce front end wobble
Ok im new to this forum please be gentle. Ive had my bike for about 5yrs. Just paid it off actually this yr. I got new tires about 500 miles ago. Pirrelli night dragons. Bike was riding great all season and after the new tires. Friends and i went to vermont about 200 miles round trip. We stopped at a gas stop and had a coffee. Bike rode great all day including into gas station. Left and the front had a slight wobble. At every speed. Accel and decel. Almost feels like the tire is flopping over. So i put new wheel bearings in it. Still wobbles. Noticed my rotor was warped. Took that off rode the bike down the road quick. Bike still wobbles. Fall away seems ok. Steady to steering stops. Doesnt juat drop fast no noise. No sounds. Cant feel anything in the bars hindering movement. I dont recall hitting any large holes. It rode fine as i pulled into the gas stop. Soon as i left it wobbled. Anyone have any idea as what it could be?

They said it was butturns out it wasnt. I re-checked after the wobble started and nope not balanced. Tire doesnt seem to have any unusual wear to it by eye. No cupping. Not that the tire isnt damaged just by eye it looks to be normal. Only has about 600 miles on it total

The rear was balanced. Had new weights on it. So why would i think any diff about the front. Had a weight on it the kind that wraps around the spoke. They never said it wasnt balanced. So i mounted it and rode the **** out of it. Now im going on week 2 and the wobble cant be found.

What kind of gas did you put in? Sorry, just had to say that...all I could suggest is new fluids in fork tubes or possibly new steering bearings? I know I was having some weirdness going on with the ft end on one of my bikes and I really didn't think fork bearings would help but they did miracles. Good luck!

Got the rim back from shop today. Tried to have it trued and its ****ed. So look for a new rim. Hopefully thats the wobble and everything else is good. Must of smoked a pothole or something idk.

The rim was out about the thickness of two pieces of aluminum foil. Crazy that's all it took.
