unless you got an early '09 with the cup-prone D407F front tire - sneaky HD had Duncrap change the tread direction later. Mine is so bad it will need to be replaced next week @ 10K - sorry excuse for front tire milelage. You can bet I'm going to pitch a bitch at the dealer.

Agree the tires are likely the problem. One thing I love about my '03 RG is I can set the cruise and take both hands off the bars - she'll ride straight, no wobble.
