Default Bagger wobble

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks to the guys on one of the threads about bagger wobble...dont remember who ...doh.. I checked my back wheel with an 8ft aluminm straigt edge by jacking the bike up ( pit bull lift) and runnung it across the back wheel projecting it foward and discoverd that they where out 5/8 of an in... So i loosend the front motor mount and adj the top and bottom stabilizers (same amount of turns) and using a big screw driver to releave preasure on the bottom motor mount i lined it up.. Tightend the mounts and links. I used the manual for the basic concept and tourqe specs but the mo co way is to much bull crap and special tools that u dont need.. I little comon sence can go a long way.. Any way the bike cruses at 100mph like its in f---in rails compaird to the way it used too at 85 and whipin allover the place... Good luck charlie
PS I ALWAYS HAD THE TRW BRACE AND IT HELPED WHEN I PUT IT ON BUT THE BIKE WAS STILL A LITTLE SQUARRLIE AT HIGH SPEEDS , I ALSO PUT IN STA-BOS BUSHINGS AND I THINK THEY DO WORK TO, THEY DO INCREASE THE VIBRATION, SO WHAT, THE END RESULT IS THAT THIS F---ER IS LIKE ITS GLUED TO THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad your bike is handling better, but you know you're in the parts for sale section, don't you?

Has the procedure to check alignment been written up anywhere other than the manual using the common sense approach? I find common sense isnt so common anymore
