07 Glide back end feels loose
Appewciate any ideas on this one.
07 Glide - getting into winter and noticed the back end feels a bit loose.
Tyre and suspension pressures are as per manual - everything else look sound

Do you have wire wheels? spokes could be loose. How many miles on your tires, could need a tire?

Alloys with 9k on the tyres - plenty of tread - might just be the tyres don't perform too well in cooler climates

Drop the shocks down a couple of pounds unless you weigh 300lbs

Have you thought about a stabilizer???
My Roadglide sometimes feels "loose" or skiddish sort of underneath my seat. almost like the frame is flexing. I gave up and bought a True Track stabilizer today to see if that fixes it.
I let you know what happens.

RE: 07 Glide back end feels loose
Pretty much something I don't think you're going to get ride of. My glide still feels loose in the rear end and I've got a forum witness who can verify that the rear will step out on ya a little bit.
