I just got my bike back from the shop last saturday, and started noticing the past two days (including this morning) that when I make a turn or riding on a sharp curve the back end feels like it's about to give out. I'm wondering if it's just in my head or not...i laid my bike down on a curve (going 20mph, on wet blacktop) 2 months ago, i looked at the tire pressure and it's fine. If anyone has ever gotten a flat tire on their bike and tried to ride (really slow) and you feel the back end get kind of squirrely, that's how it feels on the curves, but not THAT bad, just sort of noticeable. Physically nothing looks wrong with the bike, think it's maybe my conscience being cautious or scared? Anyone else had this issue and turned out to be something wrong with the bike, that can't be found visually, maybe some sort of alignment or something with the rear tire?

Do you have spoked wheels? If you do sounf the spokes with a screw driver. If they are tight the spokes will kind of ring, it you have a loose spoke it will have a dull sound. loose spokes can feel like a tire issue.
maybe you're just paraniod, and looking for something to go wrong. there are a lot of people on this forum who spend more time trying to find something wrong with their bikes instead of realizing harley has little quirks and you need to just go with the flow and ride. It really is a tough bike and will take a lot of abuse and still run.

Could be,..... but if you are wrong, somebody can get hurt real bad.
If your gut tells you something may be wrong, I suggest paying attention.
What kind of tire?
How many miles on it?
What air pressure do you run?
Did you check your pressure when the tires were cold? If they were warm, the pressure is wrong. Mine got a little squirley and after the ride, I let the tires cool down and air pressure was off by 12 pounds.

Is it a real issue and can feel something, or do U think its on the edge and could go?
First part needs addressed, If its the latter maybe its still in the back of Ur mind.
Is it just me or the bike?
Anyone else had this issue and turned out to be something wrong with the bike, that can't be found visually, maybe some sort of alignment or something with the rear tire?
