hey folks i know i can get many opinions on this one ,
heres the deal I'm going to talk in kilometres too , at 110- 115 km/h bike i smooth as glass , touch up to 120 km/h ( approx 75 miles an hour) get a front end shimmy .
of course just came back from a bike trip with lots of interstate running so much more noticed , wouldn't usually be at those speeds around home
tire pressure is normal
brand new wheel bearings
i have heard from some indy that the front tires on FLHx they see cupping and issues. won't ask dealer as usual they have " never heard of it "
I'm thinking of putting a new tire on my bike has 12,000 kms on it approx 7500 miles
thanks folks

There was nothing real bad to cause this so i decided to change the fork oil and used HD heavy oil, i dont remember the name but the thickest fork oil HD offers.
No more shimmy and the front forks had that firm fill and better control. The bike had 28,000miles at the time i going to change the fork oil every 10,000 miles form now on.
