Strange feeling?
How many miles on the new tire..? Did you go with dyna beads or wheel weights ?

More than likely that 07 UC has mag wheels on it but check the rear wheel alignment and axle nut torque just to be sure it went back together right. Alignment will give you a strange feeling if it isn't right. Very few dealers will properly align a wheel when doing maintenance, they just back off on the adjusters and after the wheel goes back on they will take up on the adjusters again and it's "good enough".
Also as mentioned above, check the air pressures in both wheels.

I had a flat on highway 1 on the CA coast and sat there for several hours before a tow finally showed up... after that I dit a LOT of research on line and ended up actually calling several of the 'testamonials from this web sit' and decided to run it in my tires.. I have ran it now for about 3 years - so far so good... of course I do not know the size of nail you hit but this 'may' have helped you get to the side of the road easier - just a suggestion - look into it... cost about $25 per tire and last as long as the tire. I will Never run a tire without it again..

Why not just buy a new wheel ? If the tire had a side wall blow out you may have a case against the tire company? I had a friend who had a Goldwing and a trailer in the midwest somewhere on a trip . He had a blow-out from a Michelin tire, sever damage because the blown tire caused the trailer to flip ! His wife had broken collar bone and many other things wrong he had a bunch of stuff too but was OK. Well he kept the tire and with in the month had a visit from the Michelin Rep's and they asked for the tire which he refused to give them even after they offered him a $100,000 ? Well he went to ntrial and ended up with close to a Million $$. But never give them the evidence (the tire) Those tire's will never be on any bike I will ever own! Remember Michelins ,
Good Luck with your wheel issue and I think you should buy a new one(could be the frame too ? May have weaken a part of the metal?)
