I don't have one but I've been thinking of getting one. I surely won't if it doesn't ride straight at 70. Sometimes my 883 hug seems like it has a wobble when I jump on it after not riding for a couple days. I checked everything and seems like it's just in my head.

I have one and it has about 500 miles on it. No wobble at 70 which is about as fast as I have had it. With no windshield and the mini ape hangers you are a human sail so it sometimes feels like the wind is pushing me around but no wobble from the suspension.

A wobble from the front end could mean something is up with your front wheel, ie. loose spokes. Take it to the dealer and get it checked out.

If your new 72 has a wobble...time to have the dealership take a look. Could be thrown weight, neck bearing, wheel spoke, etc... Let the warranty do it's thing.

had mine up to 95 or so...have 1200 miles on it...the only speed wobble I experienced was when I first got it and was holding on too tight...I relaxed and it went away
and yeah, I was a f'in human parachute at 95mph
now I have heard a small buzz about possible loose spokes on 72s, but had mine checked and there wasn't an issue

yeah it looks badass in person but I ended up choosing the flat black cuz it just felt dirtier and worked more with what I wanted in a bike
