80 mph corner almost turned deadly
80 mph corner almost turned deadly
I was in VT this weekend riding very hard on the back roads through the mountains 80 and 90 per hour when all of a sudden my front tire started wobbling uncontrollably. I've rode rice rockets for 20 years faster and harder around the same rodes and never had this happen, this scared the **** out of me, lucklily i strong armed the handle bars and came out of it fine. I guess I know a street glides limits. Is there anything I can put on the bike so this wont happen.

True-Track?
Ride Straight?
??
Plenty out there, google them. Plenty seem to like the True-track. I can't really help other than to point you to the different versions of these.
Plenty of info on them from the search function here as well.
Be safe out there!

Just kidding.
I bought a Harley to help put my insane, blind curve at blinding speed rice-rocket days behind me.
Slow down, ya crazy kid!

Thanks Damascus, I did the same thing but noticed the SG actuallys handles pretty good. Not that good I found out so ive slowed down even on the lonely roads up near Canada. i've heard theres some sort of stabilizer that goes underneath the bike, not sure if that would cure any wobble problem.

Was it a tank slapper, which is a dumb question on my point, because everyone knows you don't strong arm a wobbling bike, you let it steer. The bike is the hardware. You are the software. Where is the glitch normally found?
