OK guys I been reading and some of you want to get on the gas to get out of the wobble.
Well I can say with that dam wobble going on you can't get a proper grip on the throttle to
give it any gas. All I had time to do is put the bike in a handle bar control turn one way or the other and slow down for less
tire drag on the front wheel. Slow down my down shifting.

Never thought on shifting weight but in a way that can have the same result. I think.   :2vrolijk_21:

any way what ever works

I am not kidding I piss my pants

There is no shame in shedding weight that way at the appropriate time my friend.   8)  I had the same feeling and that's why I was getting off!  I've been down a real high speeds before, and I didn't want any part of going down while still attached to that insanely dancing demon that I was riding.  That's why I was getting off, (and away!)

Never had a wobble that bad...however, would hitting the rear brake hard help reduce/stop a wobble enough to gain control?  I ask this question to anyone that may have tried this either successfully or unsuccessfully.  Thanks, Rich

There is two different situations, for the lack of better terms, I am calling them

a.) Light Wobble
Best remedy is to ease your grip on the handle bar.

b.) Tank Slapper
Best remedy is to slide forward, so that you almost sit on the tank. And slowly reduce throttle at the same time.

After hitting a deer @ 50 mph a couple weeks ago my SEUC went into a high speed wobble. I just leaned forward and gave it a little gas and it straightened out OK.
I don't ever want to do that again!

The only damage is the front fender got bent a little and I gained several new grey hairs. I never went back and looked at the deer as we were on a very narrow road. My guess is she didn't make it as I hit her very hard and threw her 20 feet in the air to the ditch on the other side of the road.

Anyone know where I can get a front fender for an 06- HAze seuc? I'd rather not pay the stealer $860 for a new one!
