Happy with my first attempt at a panel job. Nowhere near perfect, but for I first kick at it, it looks good, especially from 5 feet away or more, haha. Was Barracuda Silver before, so I guess I can no longer claim #Teamsilver I just added Chopperhaus Rotors last night too, so she's pretty much where I want her. Downside to a paint job is that I no longer want my leatherpros on because they hide some of the fender, lol

 

Anyone get a wobble at 100mph? A significant shake that's somewhat terrifying.

 

Sounds like my old Dyna. Softail has been pretty steady. I've had her up to about 200 KPH, or about 125 or so, and haven't felt anything scary. Hard to get her to go much faster than that anyways.

 

It's bizarre, at exactly 97mph the shimmy starts, then at 100 its HOLD THE F**K ON!!! I think its from one of the hundred things ive done to mod the bike that isn't properly fine tuned yet.

 

What have you done……….

 

Main culprits I can think of are the legends front fork suspension. RWD rear lifted suspension. Hard cases (maybe they gather wind weird when going fast?) HD front quarter fairing. 9.5" Thrashin Pullback bars. I'm leaning towards the Legends front end though, as the shake is 100% located in the front of the bike. I should get my front wheel inspected to see if everything is true as well.

 

Remove the bags and see what happens, quick and easy. I say that as it’s a zero cost too you test.

 

I used to have a bad wobble (like worse than usual) on the dyna when my leatherpros were on and loaded, so bags could add to instability I would say.

 

I'll try the case removal, I think ive been holding off on trying that because I like and use them so much I dont want them to be the issue (they were also expensive as ****...) if wind is getting caught there it could create just a hair of lift in the front which in turn could cause a shake I suppose.

 

Progress!
