Have the same bike and that color combine is the best of the three choices. :2vrolijk_21: Before you take the bike back from the dealer, have them put it up off the floor and do the swing test.  Should swing just 1 to 1-1/2 times from a full left or right turn.  You'll really feel the difference in the ride.  And you can now ride occasionally and safely hands-free. :vrolijk_26:

Thanks for the info...you're correct on best of the 3-colors.  Got bike back yesterday evening.  Per HD Dealer: swing tested 1-swing, retorqued head bearings, new tire & balanced, warrantied covered.  Ride home had no deceleration wobble all the way down to 20mph. Tested several times hands free...drives smooth.  Hope this will last.   :huepfenjump3:

I took my FLTRUSE to the dealer yesterday and reported the same problems. They were aware of the issue and fixed the problem as a warranty repair, didn't cost a dime and the wobble is all but gone. Good dealers with competent techs do exist.

I had the wobble also from the day I bought my bike in Dec 2010. Over this thime period the dealer has spent many hours attempting to fix my issue.  I have had everything checked and or replaced on my CVO Road Glide Ultra. Motor mounts, Head bearings, runout, fall away, alignment, and THREE Dunlop tires... first tire cured the wobble at 50-55 mph....wobble reappeared just at a lower speed. The second tire it moved down to 30-35mph, third tire no change....4th tire Metzler ME 880... problem solved....Again this was not "Harley Davidson" that fixed the problem rather the "DEALER" came to my rescue... many just accept this and just go on with the "company guidance" "if operated properly you should have no issue" " All checks are within specs so your motorcycle is a correct representation of the product" . So if you get a chance have your dealer try a tire other than a Dunlop....

Same problem on mine.  Noticed it on the way home from picking it up.
