Default Wheel Wobble

Has anyone have any trouble with front end wobble when in a corner and backing off of the gas? This has happened several times and I have checked tire pressure, Shocks were just rebuilt. Weight on bike is balanced good.

I was thinking shocks until you said they were just rebuilt. Have you checked the wheels of the bike? I know in the past I had to have a wheel replace b/c i just f'd it up too much to ride on it. I took on a spring pothole head on going about 75mph on I95 and the bike didn't ride the same the rest of the way. Checked everything, and seemed alright but when I next went to the shop, a buddy asked me about wear to the wheels. We put a new wheel on, and everything cleared up. Might not be it, but something you may want to check. Sometimes you can't tell with the eyes, but I know riding on a wobble sure ain't fun.....good luck.

You know, That must might give me an excuse to put chrome wheels on the Fat Boy. But I'll check it out first.

Thanks

Did you really need an excuse for the chrome wheels. I don't have any problems at all with wobble on the front end, and don't know of anyone I ride with that does. Only things that come to mind are a faulty tire, or the rim needs balanced. Best of luck, and be careful with that wobble!
