Ride wright wheels big problem
I received my new rims about a week ago after putting them on and taking for a test ride the front of the bike starts to shake above 40 mph. The back of the bike is lowered 2 inches the front is stock and I have no front fender cuz it's a paint. It's an 06 nightrain does anyone have any ideas of what's going on??

There's more to this story than is being told. I have dealt with sam and company for 8 years now. Done over a dozen sets of wheels thru various customers and even though there have been an issues with two wheels out of 24 the problem was taken care of with in days at no cost to the owners.

have you taken your wheel into an indy shop to make sure it was properly balanced? sounds silly after spending that kind of money but you never know. some places only balance the wheel after the tire is installed, i personally like to balance the rim with no tire on it, then put the tire on and re-balance to be sure everything is balanced to itself. overkill, maybe, but that's just the way i like to do it. i've also just used dynabeads as a fix for an out of balance wheel and they work great. and it doesn't require you to take the tire off.
