Nice that the new SGS can hit red line (6200) in sixth gear; however, I got a big wobble at the very top end. It had just pasted 115 MPH and heading for 120 MPH, governor then kicked in, but before that it had a bad wobble from the front wheel. Not a vibration, but a back and forth wobble. I had my old Road King up to 110 MPH a couple of times and no wobble in the front. I was wondering if it is a fairing issue or maybe just the highway I was on. Anyone (another crazy rider) had the same experience? It’s not an everyday experience to be real concerned about, but with that happening I think that will be the last time I try that on this bike, and that may be a good thing.

 

I had mine up to 125 and no wobble I am surprised, ask your dealer to look at it

 

I'd venture to say it was a wind issue. May or may not speed wobble depending upon speed, direction, gusts, etc.

Easy fix: slow the hell down!

 

I second this opinion.

I have had my Ultra to 100mph with no wobble. But I would expect some wobble above that. That large fairing is going to cause some dirty turbulence at some point. The fact that it's smooth at the century mark is impressive to me.

My 08 RK would start to wobble above 85mph. But that was clearly because of the windshield. No wobbles when running without the shield. I just had to hold on for my life LOL.

 

I had my Kawasaki 1400 Concur up to 175MPH with no wobble but sadly I could only muster around 115 on my Ultra Limited before traffic but did not feel any wobble. I'm so happy I got rid of my Kawasaki. Harley's are just not made for speed and I need to hang in the 70MPH range if I want to make it to retirement.

Plus the fines if you're caught running 175!

 

no wobble for me at over 100 speeds, actually felt pretty good,

 

Going to Sturgis soon..... and counting. Can try it on way there, lots of open space. Oh but, by wife on the back, bags packed full and a 50 lbs. bag on the luggage rack, maybe not! Looks like me at 120 MPH.

 

How did you get past the 106mph limited? Dealer flash, tuner setting???

 

Dealer download, added slip-ons, high flow air cleaner and then the download. Did the same on my previous RK and was great for 30k.
