This would be the easiest thing to check just to make sure and quick verification to ensure everything is correct or not. Thanks to this thread and the video posted by Hatitude, I'm starting to think I need to look at the fall away on my Night Train since I get the same easy right and left movement from the front end.

I was going to do this myself but, seeing I'm going to get the tires replaced cause they are too old, I'm going to have everything done at the shop. Tires, all fluids and filter changed, fork adjustment and overall going over. Dropping it off the week of the 15th.

Thanks to all for your input.

The combo of the rake, the longer forks
and the taller wheel all make the front
end feel heavy.
After a few rides, you probably won’t
notice it. The thin tire will track. You’ll
continue to notice that.
