Roadking wobble
Can anyone tell me if moco has addressed the wobble in the front end of Roadkings? I'm looking at one, and my buddy says they got this wobble at certain speeds. Thanks all in advance.

My '99 was solid up to 100mph (as fast as I ever had it).
I would have your buddy check his front motor mount, tire condition, tire inflation, steering head adjustment, etc. I would also take the one you are looking at for a ride and see if you notice anything. Don't think just because your buddies bike has a wobble, they all do it. Find out for yourself.

RE: Roadking wobble
Found some facts on it, Google(roadking wobble) there are quite a few topics on it.
Appears that a steering dampner will fix it. I did read somewhere that a police officer was killed when his bike went into a wobble in a curve.

The only wobble is get is on Rte 495 here. There are bad grooves in the road. My Camaro SS groove tracks all over the place on that road, I can hardly relax while driving. This groove tracking is brutal on the bike.
I thought something was wrong too. But it was the road!
