no frame problems, the 200 rear tire and the more stable motor mounts I believe are the reason why.

Talked to my Indy today. He said the new frame fixes all of the wobble problems. Told me that I sould consider buying a new 09 instead of building mine into a 103.

My Indy dosen't work on commission. He just returned from the Vegas show today and said that before I sink 4K into my motor, to consider a new bike because the frame is that good, brother.

Never have had&nbsp\\;cornering&nbsp\\;wobble on my 08 ever.&nbsp\\; Scraping the running boards is the limitation.&nbsp\\;

I have an 08 ultra and have yet to experience this wobble/ cornering problem some are talking about. However I normally don't run over 85 or 90 mph.

The frame and so called wobble problem is something I have never experienced. Others I guess say they have but oh well !!! There is nothing wrong with my 08 Ultra.
