I'm sure you're right about the mass of aluminum swinging side to side not having an effect, but nevertheless, my front end wobbles (which I hate), and now this funky wobblewonk of a wheel is the last straw. And I'm not totally convinced that it's NOT causing the wobble.

I went to one of my local dealers today and looked at a Fatboy Lo and the front wheel was damned near spot on looking at the lathe work. Mine, you can clearly see when the wheel isn't even turning that one side looks thicker than the opposite side, aka 180 degrees opposite.

I'm fighting it. There's enough PULL OFF Fatboy wheels out there that they could cough up a straight one.

Not pissed at your post, in fact thank you.

I wouldn't be able to stand looking at it any more than you can. No excuse for this lack of quality.

I've gotta go check mine. I'll let you know if I have similar issues.
