    My guess is steering head bearings or frame alignment. Take it back to the dealer and have them check it over with warranty.

    Still no result. The bike was bought new so no prior accident history, i have checked the s/head bearings as well as the dealer with no difference. It runs Harley premium shocks on the rear with seperate pre-load and have tried multiple pre-load adjustments. Tire presures have been adjusted both up and down front and back and currently 40psi rear and 37 front. Have read that the standard batwing fairing creates 15 pounds of lift at 60mph and by changing screens can help heaps. Will keep plugging away and let you know if we find a fix

    Did you check the wheel alignment ? This plays a major roll in the bagger wobble. Same symptoms as the early tourers get in a near tank slapper on 120k sweepers. After you make sure wheels are straight fit a stabilizer brace.

    hmmm---glide pro replaces the OEM frount motor mounts and rear stabilizer axle and the OEM oscillators with a neoprene set up--have one fitted to my 07 kingy makes the world of difference, its not a bolt on extra its actually a replacement---cheers Grim

    Hi sorry to hear about this problem, don't understand why it is happening, but there are two things you should have checked before anything else. the wheel balance and the front wheel bearings.  I have had a similar problem with my nightrain when it was new.

    I also have a 2010 Street Glide very stabe all the way up to max speed, althogh a crosswind can give a little problem.

    Normal riding speed at around 110 can run hands off, through sweepers like on rails.
