Avon have recently introduced the Cobra for Harleys, replacing the Venom. Having owned Harleys since 1974 I find I always end up with Avons! As for your jiffy spring, raise your rear suspension!

Default 2013 CVO Road Glide Custom Problem

I am having problem with HD 2013 CVO road glide custom front wheel. The specs for the tires are front specification -130/60B19 M/C 61H and rear specification - 180/55B18 M/C 80H. I purchased motorcycle December 1 and immediately had problem with whobbling and vibration in the front tire and it feels like something is loose. The Dealer changed the wheel and tire but I am still having the same problem. I have had it in to be fixed twice and they have not been able to fix it. The last time the dealer tightened the neck but again I am having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Have the dealer check the spokes. Insist on it.
