You know

Just about every bagger I have had at high speeds had a little wobble.

In this thread there are some solutions listed.

The best one I ever heard was from Jerry (GRC)

Slow down!

According to Jerry (and I hope I get this right)

The basic design of the frame on our dressers have been around 25 years.

You know, back then when we were happy to get 50 horsepower out of that motor.
Now with triple digits of horsepower being the norm and not the exception the frame just can't handle the power and the speed produced by that horsepower. Ask the MoCo to explain why your bike wobbles over a 100 or even 80? Their response is a canned "We can not be responsible or liable for anyone exceeding the limits of the law"

So Gene, welcome to the site and read, read, read.
There are many options available, just read the threads and decide which one is best for you.

Compared to many issues with the E-Glide, I have not yet heard anyone with a Road King complaining. In our country there is no speed limit on the motorway, and I can ride my '07 SERK faster than 110 mp/h, even with wind and in curves, without any problems. Now the E-Glide is an entirely different story.

Ride safely,
Louis

Ever since I put the TWR device on my motorcycle, I don't get a wobble, however, long about 115mph, it feels like the front end gets light, like it wants to fly.  Need to find a downforce solution that will plant the front tire on the pavement that doesn't look like ass.  Other than that, Thump is as solid as a steel beam.

But certainly much more interesting than all these meaningless BS ball breaking posts of yours! Talk about NET HO! Jeez!

Hoist!

As reccomended, I took my comment about the hateful, mean, nasty BS ball breaking posts to a PM.  It was hard though.

But re wobble.  I have attempted to correct mine with adjustments to tires, tire pressure, and the tightening of neck bearings.  My last service I talked to Matt the mechanic at Richmond North Service Department and told him what happens when I ride.  He lubed and tightened the neck bearings and now I rode yesterday at 75 mph and I could literally take my hands off my handlebars and that bike rides smooth and straight.  Good luck with everyone's attempt to tackle this beast. If you don't have a wobble, congrats.

Gene welcome aboard

Welcome, had a Yamaha Venture had the same wobble - 90mph sweeping highway curve - watch out. My Roadking is fine, my SEEG I feel it occasionally - usually with the lowers on and Tourpak - otherwise its pretty stable - but I have progressive suspension front and rear FWIW.
