I have an '05 Road Glide. Always handled great until recently. Had new rear tire installed (factory spec Dunlop). After got the bike back felt wobble whenever I released grips. Harley said it is aligned properly and probably needs front tire. Had that done but still feel a slight wobble. Any thoughts?

 

Neck bearings adjustment?

 

check the belt tension i had the same problem after i had new tires put on the mechanic did not properly tighten the drive belt.

 

Was your belt too tight or too loose?

 

Didn't think about the belt adjustment. Thanks

 

wups sorry stro1965 my bad lol it was to loose =D. as a matter of fact last time i was out on the expressway i noticed a little wobble so last night i tightened my belt up a little and wobble was gone today i just got back. i am going to get the tool tommorow for belt deflection. i think it will be worth the 30 bucks, a few weeks prior i changed my rear brakes and i just set the belt back to the mark on the oval axle washer but it really should have been tighter. i will feel better once i use the tool though i don't want no premature belt wearing.

 

Yeah, I've kinda been doing mine by "feel". know I should probably get the guage too. It seems that maybe 3 things that are easy to check are important concerning rear-steer/wobble:

1: Tire Pressure
2: Shock Pressure
3: Belt Tension

 

yep i agree with all 3 =D i do think the after market stabilizer's are a good idea especially on a long trip if your belt starts to stretch a little the stabilizer will compensate. but man i can't get no overtime for any extra spending. but im glad to still be working =D

 

I just added the Progressive Stabilizer, it appears to help a lot and the price was right ($160.00 delivered)!

 

wow 160 delivered where did you get it thats the style i need, dog bone style wont work for me the brace under the bike got bent coming off a trailer stupid ramp bent in half. if you got a link i would appreciate it. sorry dont meen to over ride the thread.=D
