I replaced my bearings and bushings over a year ago, one bearing was split in half, both bushings were worn out - the bike had 60k kilometres on it.

The rear of my 09 Ultra Classic is rock solid. The front end however is a different story. Posted about the 'clunk' & front end issues in my own thread but just crickets all day. The wobble I get certainly seems to be from the front & definitely bar shaking on deceleration. Did the swing test today & if anything the steering head seems tight not loose. Barely 2 swings when manual says 3 to 4 swings is correct.
Anyway gave up trying to keep up with traffic here in Phoenix. Trying to stay 70-75mph & getting passed on both sides. Nothing that makes me feel really unsafe but when that wobble starts around 80 its pretty unnerving...
