Default 93 softail custom wobbles @65mph
i have a 93 softail custom and when i get up around 65 or 70 mph the bike starts to wobble in the front end. does anyone have any ideas of what this could be?

I assume that you mean the front-end is wobbling...if so, check the wheel bearings, spokes (if you have them).

have replaced front bearings, have all spokes in place,have reset the front play on the front axle and have replaced front and rear tires with good balance and still have wobbles at 65/75 mph.
