Default 2009 RG Wobble - No More

Had my bike private mechanic serviced ... no MoCo for my Glide

OEM Front Wheel Swing was 3 1/2

Had it reset to 1 1/2 swings - which for mine was just about 1 1/2 notches tighter on the notched adjuster nut - special tool required

Now feels 100% right - no wobble what so ever - any time - any speed !

note - when my front tire air pressure was just 4 lbs too little (32 lbs) the wobble was way worse than the wobble I had at the 36 lbs spec'ed

to reset the swing requires a BUNCH of work to get to the notched nut - & pulling handle bar lines ... plus you need to make the HD tool
