I traded in my FLRHSE4 in for a Road Glide Ultra. The 1st thing I noticed was the increase in engine noise and the incessant wobble i felt in the front end when I let loose of the bars.. heck even if i have one paw on a grip in cruise and its held lightly I still feel a wobble in my front end. I took it in for a 1k service. The dealership said they tightened up some spokes and balanced the rim. Now I haave a wobble in Higher speeds and lower speeds. has anyone had this issue before ? What was the corrective action ?

As far as the engine noise goes, with the fairing, you will get more sound coming from the engine. Mine is the same. The wobble is a mystery to me. Never had a problem.

Have them check the steering head for proper tightening...about 1.5 swings is the right setting from everything I've read about the wobble issue, which is NOT what the book recommends.
