looking for help , 2007 rg 21 front 18 rear, 418 rear shocks an progressive front springs not lowed . so when i pass a road tracter at 70+ when i pull back in the bike wiggles in the rear like i have a flat tire . two times i stoped an check the tire an it was fin. but on the back roads it seams fine . ,,,,,,,,,,wiggles

 

Do you mean, "when I pull back in" into the lane in front of the truck you just passed? I think it's just wind or lack of wind turbulence after passing a big rig. You go from lots of turbulence coming from behind, then either blocked wind or sucking in towards rig while passing, and then whatever nature has going once you have cleared the rig. Imho, it's probably an slight over-correction on your part once you've cleared the rig?

 

Sounds like rear steer to me.... Try shifting your butt in the seat while going 60ish and see if you can induce the wiggle. If so, you have the classic rear end wobble. Choose your favorite "bagger brace" and put an end to it.

 

You might want to try the Sta-Bo II bushings as a cheaper alternative to the many braces that are available to reduce the rear-wiggle the FLs are prone to. The Sta-Bo IIs seem to work as advertised for me anyway.

Thanks for the info

 

I get the slightest wobble out of mine too. You, like I just had new wheels put on, could it be unbalanced tires I was wondering? I dunno, I just never noticed it on my old wheels is all.

 

Checked your tire pressure?

 

Is the concrete gooved? Asphalt strips not straight? Only way to fix that is Metzlers or some tire without a rain groove running down the middle.

I am afraid you are wrong friend... My RG does not wobbel on the road one bit. I have cruised at 50-95mph and never had any wobbel effect. SO to tell this good person to sell his soul and join the crowd and trade in the best harley for a "electra glide" is just mean.... and wrong...
