The trees are the issue. Period. It is nothing else. Especially the Harley trike trees, they are known to cause a wabble. Put the stock back on and the bike will ride fine.

Welcome to the forums. I would go back stock with the 21 and slow the hell down, unless you have a death wish,lol. You can use all that awesome power you have redlight to redlight and still get thrills. Good luck with your bike man, keep the shiny side up.

I have 21/17 wheels, factory tree, Progressive drop in, lowered 1-1/2" in the front and 1" in the rear, Avon Venoms with Ride-On liquid balancer. I have never had any high speed wobble issues. Ive never heard of anyone having to put trees on to fit a 21.

Cruise at 110 mph, everything should smooth right out.
