I take it you don't have the same tire (compound) and mileage on the back? I'm still using the OEM Dunlops and I"ve got 7K and the back will need replaced in another 1-1.5K. The front looks great. I thought about going with some stickier tires but I'm not road racing and I like the extended mileage of the harder compound.

I had the same experience with the Dunlops on the front of my Fatboy.......installed a different Dunlop with Dyna Beads.......no problem.

Mine (just front) has +20K and still runs smooth and shake free but you can see and fill the cups with you hand. Appears to be on each side around about 30 degree off center between water slots. Does not appear to hurt anything. Mine has no balance weights. Run 30lb and 36 rear. My Dunlop on the original spoke wheel did not do it at 10K when I took it off but had a shake (like a buzz) and it was balanced by dealer. (think he had too much weight on it--couple big donuts around two spokes) Make you a paper template to fit the tire radius and place it on the tire and measure the cup. Bet it's not as bad as you think. Does it have a up and down buzz shake fill when you put your hand on the center of the bars on a smooth road at 60mph? (if so that's out of balance.)
