Is this wallow a road king thing? Been riding classics for 14 years and never had this problem.
I was wondering the same thing. My EGC seems fine. Although I'm always up for blowing money on something that might help bike performance
It is definitely not just a Road King thing. I had it on both of my Road Kings and I have it on my Street Glide. It all depends on how hard you push you bikes in the corners. I push my bikes pretty hard in the canyons. Scraping floorboards is not uncommon. The wallow on my Glide increases with weight (2-up) and as my cornering speed increases. It is particularily noticeable when going over a bump in high-speed corners.

Bottom line, if most of your riding is on the interstate, or you ride very mellow while cornering, you won't have the wallow.
