Handlebars damper for Ultra???
I have a friend who's Ultra wobbles at 100mph... Is there a damper (like those in crotch rockets) to stabilize the handlebars at high speeds? The bike is new and there is no logic reason for the wobbling.
Any information on manufacturers will be highly appreciated, thank you guys in advance for your help.
Mimo.

Well, he has a Road King Classic and he has taken that one over 120 w/o any problem at all, what do you think that makes the difference??? The wind-jammer?

Something in the suspension/steering is not right. Maybe the headstock is not torqued right, for example. Or tire pressure incorrect. But I would look for a possible culprit. Is the bike overloaded? Does it do this only in turns, or on straights, too. Grooved pavement? Just a few thoughts. I had some slow frequency weaving in high speed sweepers, but resolved it with a RideStr8. Good luck sorting it out. No reason not to expect an Ultra to be capable of 100 mph stability.

Actually it was on a curve, fotunately he got out of it just in time, he was running off the road and he got back on track. He's an experienced rider.
Thank you for the tips brother.
Regards.
