Wonder to what speed the MOCO would be held legally responsible for providing a stable/no wobble ride?   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  spyder

Rjob thanks for finding the news article . [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=pumpkin.gif]

Yeah, 'er 'uh, hdnut,
  Interesting article, Man!  While every Life is precious, and our Mental Faculties priceless, it saddens me to read, of yet another Rider sustaining permanent injuries as a result of the passion we all enjoy.  I have empathy for this person, in his efforts to seek judgment against the MoCo., regarding his current, and most likely, permanent condition.  I really feel sorry for Him, his Family, and his Employees.  However, in cases such as this, it is my belief his Attorney will be the only winner.  Too many variables involved.  As we are all pretty savy to some of these variables, such as tire pressure, road conditions, suggested maintenance, to mention a few, I promise you the MoCo's Attorneys know all of them.  Please don't confuse my confidence in the MoCo's ability to defend itself in matters of Product Liability, as being callous to this Man's pitiful state.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.  JMO.  Later--HUBBARD

Has any one gone from standard ride height to a lowered ride and noticed any differance at high speed ? I think there could be something to it.

I have and it makes no difference. If anything a lowered bike would be more stable. Head bearing, tire pressure, and allignment would be the factors I would keep an eye on. Wind speed and direction could also play a role!

What do I suggest?

Check your motor mounts,

Dave,

You would want to lower the rear, or raise the front.

Gentlemen, Gentlemen,
  It's simple.  Best ideas always are.  Remove Lowers, and sell to someone.  Install Hi-way pegs, right above bottom curvature, in staight part of Crash bar, or Engine Guard, if you will.  Go through the gears, and when you get in 5th, or 6th, whatever you have, place your left foot upon the left hi-way peg, your right foot flat on the right floorboard, and proceed to the maximum speed your nerve will endure.  Works for me.  NO MORE WOBBLE!  It's aerodynamics, pure and simple.  While all of ya'll are bitchin' to your Dealers Sevice Dept., who don't know chit about it most of the time anyway, and checking tire pressures, and puttin' enough grease in your gooseneck to grease a Dozer, I'll be In The Wind, runnin' a 130 MPH, laid back like a Mescan in a Lo' Rider, smilin' like a 'Possum eatin' gooseberries!  There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD
