Of course you did! It's no wonder that people aren't laying on the ground everyday all across this world because of this terribly unsafe bike. You crashed, it sucks, stop blaming the bike.

If those are OEM Harley teeth, just ingor-em for a while and they'll eventually fall off. If you can find-em, hav-em chromed and reinstall with JB Weld.

If they were OEM it would be "that's normal" or "they all do that".....

Now I'm not taking sides in this whizzing contest, but you young ones probably don't remember this fairy tale.

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a company that made and sold a form of basic transportation. It designed a cute little unit that was very popular in the marketplace. It looked like everyone was going to live happily ever after until one of those cute little units was struck in the ****. Lo and behold, the thing burst into flames. Now, this caused a conundrum for the company King. So the King called all of his horses and all of his men to the corporate round table. They thunked and they thunked until their thunkers were sore until the Black Knight rose to talk. In a tone with much authority he said, "Well we can fix the damn thing, but it will cost a couple of bucks per unit, or we could just deal with the injuries on a case by case basis and save some money." The End.

its like anything that is made in the auto industry....just because the Moco improved on something does not mean what was improved was broke to begin with....its just an improvement. everything made makes a transition eventually, its called evolution to improve. how many touring model bikes were made using the same frame? If there was something that bad or wrong with all those touring bikes built with that particular frame the Moco would prolly been sued out of business long ago. I've had harleys for the past 15+ years and never experienced the "wobble" and hope I don't! But seems a few people complaining about it are prolly riding the bike to its limits....if you want to race a bike, an FLT would not be my first choice. you don't see nascar racing RV's do ya? I think its great that the Moco made improvements and hope they continue to do so. some people don't like change (just mention water cooling on here....lol) and some complain there isn't enough change. Just my .02

That's right. Now I remember. The Corvair had the tank in front that exploded and made Ralph Nader famous.
