I got it too so i started to wear clothing that wasnt as loose fitting and that cured it for me...my jackets and baggy pant would flap in the wind and make the bike sway....

 

When you say 'sway', do you mind clarifying? Do you mean the bars/risers move? The whole front end?

Did you change out your stock rubber bushings to poly pushings? $10...15min to change. Those bars will never move after that swap.

 

the whole front end sways and i still have the stock bushings. Can I get the poly bushings at the dealer?

 

ut

Yes but they'll charge you HD prices. If you're ok with that, more power to you.

 

I've experienced both wobble and sway.

The wobble occurred on a heavily rutted section of highway that allowed the rear wheel to get out of alignment with the front wheel...a classic initiator of the dreaded tank-slapper. Fortunately, the section of road was short and the speed was slow enough that the situation didn't have time to escalate to a dangerous level.

The sway was a completely different motion. The front tire didn't oscillate back and forth. The entire bike swayed from side to side. At first very slightly but increasing in both frequency and amplitude as speed increased. I'm no physicist but I believe in the field of aerodynamics the motion is called "flutter". Depending upon how I positioned my body and arms the sway would begin at different speeds and a head wind made it begin at lower MPH. Which enforces my belief that it's not a mechanical problem but an aerodynamic one. Interestingly, it doesn't always happen. I've had her up to 100+ without twitch and I've had her hopping all over the road at only 70. Could be something about how I'm sitting, what I'm wearing, what I'm listening to, what I ate or drank...probably a little bit of everything.

Then again, I could be totally wrong.

 

I have an 08 StreetBob and after i put 16" apes on it i had the same problem at about 80-85 mph, installed the SuperBrace and was worth every pennie, it has stabilized the front end at higher speeds and corners....

 

Check your air pressure it happen to me but mine was pulling left to right and i could not control it unless i led off the throttle , very dangerous when your trying to change lanes at 80 and a corner and a guardrail are coming up and you can't pull away from it , i almost lost it this summer ....
