Default Wobble with Highway pegs

I,ve got a bobber fitted with highway pegs and when i kick my feet up on them i start to get a wobble, noticeable enough that my ridding buddies can notice it while riding. i also have 16" ape on it . could this also affect the leverge on it? Any one else experience this?

Although you may not be cognizant of it, going from ground to the fwd pegs you are shifting your weight, causing the wobble. I do the weight shift thing, which is more noticeable b/c I'm a fatass.

I have them on my Bob with no wobble. I have always had them on my bikes, maybe you just need to get comfortable with your the new position.

I bet stiffening the rear shocks would help out.

You are moving your weight over the rear more, and causing it to lower and the front to rise.
