Front End Wobble...
I feel a little bit of wobble in the bars when I get up to highway speeds... its very slight and at first I thought it was my imagination but I felt it again today around 65mph. Although It's very slight its just a bit unnerving. Has anyone else ever experienced this? What could it be?

RE: Front End Wobble...
Thanks for the reply.I am assuming it can't be this with my bike. It a brand new 07 with less than 1,000 miles on it so far. The tire is practically brand new. Although I must add that these tires that come stock with the bike aren't the greatest. I am looking forward to a replacement down the road.

Ya know... I never thought about checking the balance of the front wheel & tire.... Thats a great idea. I will have it checked and let you know how it turns out. Thanks a bunch...

Thanks notorious. I will be bringing it in for the 1,000 mile service soon. I will definitely have that checked as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have had a Roadking and now an Ultra Classic and they both would shake the head. It depends on the road surface and direction of the wind. I keep max tire pressure on my Metzler tiresand max shock pressure on my bike and I find it helps some. Of course check wheel balance,rear wheel alighnment, and steering head "fall away". My mechanic at Powerstroke Performance in Tempe AZ has fixed a lot of FL's with Racetech gold emulator valves and springs in the front forks. harley owners are famous for spending thousands on inceased horepower but little in the stopping and handling dept.......
