Front end Wobble
I did do a search and could not find what I was looking for.
Not long ago I purchased and installed a custom set of wheels. 21" on the front and an 18 on the rear with Avon tires mounted on them. I also installed a new set of Race Tech springs to lower the front 1" with 15w fork oil.
When I an riding and go into a turn pretty hard I am getting wobble like feeling coming from what I think is the front end of the bike. I have no problems at high speeds on freeways above 70mph like some have posted. My problem is on two lane 45 to 55mph turns.
Has any one else experienced this after changing out their stock wheels and is there a cure for this problem.
Thanks, Jim

I have to say that with lowering the front an inch changing the tire, you have changed the geometry of the bike enough to have a negative effect. At slower speeds when cornering hard, there is more weight transfer to the front end. With that, your bagger was designed to have a fatter tire to help deal with the load. Try to slide the forks down an inch inside of the triple clamps, if you can, just to troubleshoot it.
