Good morning All, 2022 Road Glide Special with approx. 8000 miles.
I am feeling a vibration through the handlebars when leaning right or left.
It's been doing it on and off but lately getting worse. After long rides I feel around the front wheel bearing and all is cool to the touch.
Any Ideas are welcomed.
TIA

I have an Elite on the front and get wierd vibrations as its wearing and its not cupping. I have an RGS, 2020.
FWIW, day one, I think its cool, but theres a sound from the fairing in turns, I presume from the vents.
Back to tire, I just chalk it up to tire wearing I expect to get new tires next month so I will know if its just tire wearing.
My 2020 RG, bought with about 9800 miles on it, had a new rear tire and original front tire. After riding it for 2 weeks it vibrated through the handlebars on every left or tight turn. I brought it back to the dealer and they changed the front tire with factory OEM Dunlop (same tire as rear). Well, a few months and a couple thousand miles later the vibration is back. So, tire is wearing just fine, it really shows no wear at all. Inflation is set at spec (36psi cold). I feel (not just hear, but feel it in the bars) whether two up or riding solo. I chalk it up to the construction of the tire.
When the tires wear out I'll try Dunlop's own model for our bikes.
Tires - especially on a motorcycle - have a tremendous impact on vibration and handling. I couldnt believe the difference in my 07 Ultra after putting new rubber on. It was night and day.
