bagger wobble

[bagger specialties]

Any one got a DIY fix for that nasty wobble . I mostly get it in a windy day at higher speeds. 75 -80 mph. on the high way in the curves. kinda scary but i just hold into it . most time. just cant spend the $300 bucks for the big name ones right now.

If the mounts are good, bearings adjusted properly etc. The Progressive link is about the best deal I have seen. And its the simplist to install. JMHO

fall away test is fine. like i had mentioned before only seems to do this on windy days

I would rebuild the swing arm before you add any stabilizer. New rubber and check the pivot shaft for any excessive wear.

I replaced all the rubbers 3 to 4 years ago. i would think they would not wear out that fast. IMO

It's a test to determine if your steering head bolt is to tight or to loose.bearing preload etc. that's the real basic.

It's a test to determine if your steering head bolt is to tight or to loose.bearing preload etc. that's the real basic.

and to do this you pretty much lift the bike up so the tire leaves the ground. Make sure the bike is level and no added weight to the forks to make them move (balance either way). Then you grab one end off your bars and pull it to one side. Count the times it swings from one side to another and thats your test. if it more than 3 times i believe it needs tightning. or it could be the other way but you get my drift. lol
