Same here. Never noticed any kind of wobble on my 14' SG that I read people speaking of (different years of course). Ive even ridden with no hands in different scenarios to try to find a flaw so that I can know the bike. All good here for the moment.

Thanks for all your input folks. It wobbles even with both hands on the bars. If you're riding straight, you won't notice a thing. Go into some turns cruising through the mountains and it shakes. Almost the same feeling you would get if you rode your front tire over a rock, that quick jerking motion. If you're starting from a stopped position and have to turn while rolling or backing up, the front end just fully turns itself to one side with no tension. This all started after the mechanic took the fairing off to install auxiliary lights. Is it the neck bearing or wheel bearing? I called HD and they stated that the mechanic must duplicate the issue but be unable to fix it in order for them to step in. This is my third Harley and first issue and it's a discouraging one for sure.

get documentation.

as above it'll help with the AG if you can prove an existing problem and your efforts to fix it.

or in case of an accident the lawyers will find the paperwork handy.

Take it to someone else, if it moves that freely at slow speeds it's the neck bearings, they need to be tightened.

Now if only there wasn't snow in the forecast again this week. Even more frustrating, my seat is coming back from mean city cycles tomorrow.

What did the dealer fix that was causing the issue?
