CVO-RIDER:
I’ve never tried to over ride or recalibrate the cruise control but not sure if it can be done.  :nixweiss: 2nd question…Looking at your profile,if your bike is a 2004? I believe it is the older frame design before HD changed the frame to a stiffer design I think in 2009.  I have a 2002 SERK and I had a 2005 SEEG and both of those bikes have the older frames (HD refused to admit any issues with the frames) and when above 80mph I would get the unstable wobble when in a long sweeper turn especially if I hit a little bump in the turn. Aftermarket companies came up with frame stiffeners like..true track or ride straight to counter the issues.

It only does it in a straight line and the oscillating seems to match the wear pattern on the front tire.
Rode to Florida for the weekend and the wobble actually came in around 105-110.
Still spooky though because normally I can top it out and it’s smooth as silk either solo or two up.
I’m going cross country next June but I’m going to go ahead and change the tire, it has never done this before the tire started cupping,  just rolled over 67,000 on the way home.
Up to 100, it was perfectly stable

TonyO77:
What tire pressure are yall running?
I have been running about 40psi, is that too high?

TonyO77:
I should add that it feels like it’s all in the front end of the bike, though I’m going to change the swingarm bearings anyway before I go to Cali, just because
