Hi to all here.
I've been posting a little around here and have a question.
Since my new '08 SERK isn't in yet and my '76 FLH is down right now getting the crank rebuilt, I've had the pleasure to ride my buddy's '03 SE Duece. The bike has just over 8k miles on it.
He rode it this year in Sturgis and put on about 1,000 and it handled fine, no signs of a wobble. Since he's been back, he's been riding his custom bike and I've had the opportunity to ride his Duece a bit.
I noticed a slight frontend wobble at between 25 to 45 mph. If it had spoke wheels I'd say it acted like a loose spoke job, but of course it has cast wheels. The tires are less than a year old and are very good tread wise. We spun the front wheel on the stand and the tire tracks straight without wobbles or bulges like a split tread etc.
If you let go of the handlebars it will shake in your fingers, not enough to go out of control or anything.
I can't feel anything in the steering head, but could this be the cause of the wobble? Should we look at repacking the steering bearings and torque the spindle?
Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
