Thanks again for all the suggestions fellas. It turned out that about half of the spokes on my rear wheel were pretty loose (thanks for the post lee). After tightening everything up, that improved things tenfold! There is still just a tad bit of wobbling probably cause the spokes aren't all the same as far as tightness goes. By the way, I was planning on replacing my front brake line because I threw on some drag bars a time back. I didn't realize that I need a "special" socket or something to take the nut off of the calipers. Does anyone know if you have to special order that somewhere (dealership or ???), or if Sears would carry something like that. Thanks again everyone for you help!

 

I think is is a 12 point socket

 

Cool, thanks Hawk

 

The caliper bolts should be a 12 point 10mm socket. Readily available where ever tools are sold. I got mine at Sears. For brake work, you also need a 12 point 1/4". This is needed to remove the bolts that hold the brake pads.

Hopes this helps.

Regards,

Bill

 

Thanks a lot Bill, I appreciate you help!

 

Well, they're back, worse than before, and I'm at the end of my rope. I'm taking her in to get checked out tomorrow. I'll add a post to reveal exactly what happened. Thanks again everyone for all your suggestions.

 

inkaholic: sorry to hear that,Please let us know what the problem was

 

Well, the boys at the Harley shop tightened the spokes to the correct specs and trued the back rim as well. They said that I may have to replace the rim in the near future because some of the spoke holes wore a little larger during the whole mess. So I'll be keeping an eye on ebay, hopefully later than sooner. Thanks again everyone...

 

If you're not in love with the spoked version, try for a used factory mag-type wheel. No spokes to loosen, tubeless, too.

 

What I'm probably going to end up doing is throwing a solid wheel on the back like the night train, and keep the front spoked.
