tyre wear = wobble?
My fatboy has a rapid wobble around 70mph+. We recently found that the stearing head was loose and it has since been tightened but I'd really appreciate some feedback on the following:
- could the loose stearing head have cause uneven tyre wear?
- could the uneven tyre wear cause the wobble?
It's definitely NOTHING to do with wind/cross wind!
Gonna fit a metzler front to replace theoriginal Dunlop
Thanks

yes and yes. Also I had the same and it was a bad wheel bearing. If you do change the front tire out go with the Metzler. I did and it is much better handling and smoother and quieter. I use the Dunlop on the rear as it last longer than the Metzler. The Metzler on the front seems to last as long as the Dunlop did.

My wobble was from a slightly bent rim.
It caused abnormal wear too. All spokes were tight too. Cant figure that one out.
Bought a used one from a friend who replaced his rims with aftermarket ones. No problems since.
