Rear wheel lockup at speed is one of those things that pops into my head randomly and scares the hell outta me...

Compensator could have come apart and caught in the primary drive, seen it happen on an 08'.... First place I would look is the primary like someone else said....

I happened to be at the dealer the other day and the service manager walked out with aball off metal in his hand, said the comp peeled off and was rattling in the primary chain, didn't lock the rear wheel but one other one he seen did.... Funny how you don't hear about the problem.... I don't recall the year the one locked up on but the one in his hand was off the 08'

I don't the wheel did it because it was rolling after he was trying to push start it and it wouldn't start

Street glides were not made in 1999.
The first model was in 06.
R U sure it was not a 2009?
It's a moot point, but none the less.

As said, open the primary first and seperate engine to clutch/trans and see what's up.

Side note: 1999 Street Glide? Must be homemade custom.

Glad all are OK. That's most important. It sucks but the bike can be fixed. Good luck.
