I just brought a 2010 Ultra Classic and when I was ridding at about 70mph the steering froze up and unresponsive. At slower speeds there was no problem. I hit 70 a couple more times and the same thing happened. I drifted across 3 lanes in front of a car that was approaching at a higher speed. As you can imagine this was a little scary. After slowing down the steering appeared OK. The 3rd time I was wiggling the bars trying to manovour with no luck. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
What happened when you wiggled the bars?

Correct. The first and second time I was changing lanes. The 3 rd time I was about to come off a off ramp. I made the manouver slight adjustment to move and the bars wouldn’t move for about 1 to 2 seconds

Actually, if you push the left grip, you're going to the left. That's what countersteering is all about.
