I have a 883 N and have had up to 100mph and it was fine, got blasted by the wind to the point I thought I was gonna let go of the grips but no wobble lol.
I think it's irresponsible of a dealer/tech to say things like that, dont they want to sell the bike? Or just scare people?

I have a 2009 Iron & have had no DEATH wobbles over 90 mph ... not that that is a consistent speed for me but I have been over that a few times & mine seems OK for now. Is it possible the bike was a "dealer buyback" for that concern ??? or maybe the guy is just a total idiot ???
