Default Quick Question about fork mounted lowers

Anyone have these mounted experiencing front end wobble at 50 mph and above? Thanks.

If you are talking about the chrome wind deflectors that mount on the forks, I have them. Harley part 58121-85B. I put them on about September and take them off in May. I don't notice any difference in wobble. I don't have any wobble with them on, and I don't have any wobble with them off.

My last ride was just a few days before Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park closed because of snow. Had the deflectors on to cut the frigid air at 12,000 feet. No wobble anywhere.

Check your front wheel for lost balancing weight.

I had the same deflectors that Pass Rider is describing on my old RK, and ran them about 70k miles never taking them off. No problems at all, and they were great for keeping wind and noise from entering the rider area from under the tank. If they fit the SG I would've installed them long ago.
