Hi,

When my Deuce is travelling between 35-50 miles per hours, I get a front wheel shimmering. It doesn't do this below 35 or above 50. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this problem?

Have you checked air pressure?

 

Yes, the pressure is fine.

Glad to be of assistance...

 

I wish I could remember which tech on here had that problem nailed-down. I can't find the original thread now. Bookmarked at work, so I'll add it on Monday.

If you are noticing the wheelwobble during slow-down, most likely at (or real near) 40mph, then have your tensioner checked in your primary. The chain insideis too loose. You are feeling torque-play that manifests itself out to your front wheel.

It may sound odd, but if you have a relatively new bike, maybe less than 5,000 miles, I'd have a Harley tech check it for you. It is an easy adjustment for them, and should be checked at the 5k service.

 

I had the same thing on my '03 Heritage and found that the bolt that holds the neck tight was loose, I tightened it up and no more issue!
