Can't help but understand why MOCO lets these things out the door like this. Using "wobble" and "common" and "normal" with the word "motorcycle" in the same sentence doesn't set well with me.
I own an '09 Ultra. Rented an '11 fugly ultra in Orlanda for the 4th of July week. Went to the Keys, Miami, and over to the west coast throught the glades, 1300+ miles. The bike road great. Went through several prolonged storms. Crossed 7 mile bridge during a thunderstorm from a tropical depression, 50mph crosswinds reported with sideways rain. The bike was great. However on the hot days I sure did miss the additional air circulation I get and can adjust on my ultra.
Thanks for the information it sucks a new bike will have issues. Not sure what I should do. Dealer working on it if rain holds off taking for another ride

Definitly give it another chance...
While it is ridiculous that the neck bearings have this issue, it can be easily fixed by a dealer.
FWIW, when I ride 2-up with the OL the low speed wobble goes away. I tried to show her what it was like, and it just wouldn't do it - - even on roads and speeds that would guarantee it happening when I'm alone. So go figure ...
AMEN to that. A question to the nay sayers regarding that beautiful fairing. Do the headlights on your car or truck turn with the steering wheel on those twisty windy roads? Somehow you manage that trick manuver.
