I would never trade a RG for a Rocker. Two totally different bikes with totally different riding experiences, but for me I'd take the RG all day because it's a cruiser and much more comfortable for longer rides. Check out your front tire and wheel, that's where your problem likely is.

 

That, that and that.

 

This. And talknyourself off that ledge of trading. No way that discontinued bike is worth what yours is. That's just my opinion.

 

....and Colorado interstates really suck at any speed between 0 and 90mph

 

Thanks again fellas! It’s has the 96’ with s&s heads 103 cam stage 3 tune closed fuel loop system or something screaming eagle ignition new suspension on and on.... my buddy built it to race crotch rockets but he always builds **** and then sells it a few months after he builds it.

 

check wheel bearings too.... check threads here..... several on bad wheel bearings.... I had one go out last fall.....

 

Steering head fall away
Monotubes up front in the forks
Put the right wheel back on get rid of the spokes.
New wheel bearings
Balance your tires with ride on
Run the max pressure on the tire sidewall.

This should fix your issue.
Roadglide is the best bike Harley makes.

 

I have a set of cast wheels in my basement and they can be yours just pay shipping!!! Road Glides are the best riding bike you can buy!!!

 

Touring bikes are not sport~ tourers. Harleys are not stable at "upper" speeds. This, proved by the "Death Wobble."
Operate your bike within the parameters the Harley engineers had designed into it, and you'll have a ride without stability issues. (Annnnnd, you you won't suffer from the "Death wobble.")

 

Lot of wisdom here. The only thing I’d mention is to think about what you want in a ride. As stated these are two very different machines - trying to hold onto that Rocker at sustained interstate speeds will beat you up fast, so unless you’re committed to short hops and a few weekenders I’d advise against it no matter how good it looks.

I ride a King because it’s a light tourer with a detachable windshield; that’s something else to consider. As to speed, 80 is sustainable on a bike in well maintained condition. I’ll agree with Norty on the high speed stuff; it’s best to ‘Just Say No’.

Luck.
