If it rode fine before the apes and fly screen, I would first confirm that the tire pressure is correct. If it is ok, try removing the shield and see if that solves the problem. If the wobble persists check the steering head.

When riding 2 up it is normal that the added weight of the passenger will help to reduce or eliminate the wobble.

Bottom line is be careful. A death wobble at a relatively low speed, 65 MPH, should certainly not occur and should be corrected immediately.

whobbles in the front come from issues in the back (typically) i would say check the balance and pressure on all wheels, check you allignment and fall away... and GET A DAMPER! i love mine!!!

What does a steering damper do?

I have had no problems with my bikes handling.....have had it 100+ and no wobble...

When it was new though HD screwed it together with a bad motor mount, but that is not what you're describing.

Awobble can be caused by other problems such as air in the front brakes, caliper dragging, broke frame, forks slipping in tripple, bad or loose mount, alignment blah blah.
There are many reasons. take it back to the dealer it is new. Dont mess with it anymore. If they see you are tampering with things they may use that against you.
good luck and let us know .

Default Dyna wobble

If you have a Dyna and say that it doesnt wobble than you have never ridden a jap bike. I came off of a GSXR 1000 and no matter what people say, DYNAS WOBBLE get a true track . Thats as good as it gets. If you dont like it then get a bike that doesnt have a rubber mounted rear wheel. Anything that adds wind buffeting increases the wobble IE windshields,ape bars, and bags. Not hatin I have a 06 street Bob just the facts. Just look at top right corner of this Dyna forum. You see the sponsor TRUE TRACK. Thats not in the softail forum

I've checked the tires regularly, brakes operate fine, wheels balanced, nothing has changes but the bars. I relate to the open. I have exactly what he's described except it doesn't start the wobble til 75mph. It has stumped everyone I've talked to.

I don't have apes just a windscreen and it will start buffeting around 80.

I ride through Milliken everyday to and from work we should hook up sometime.
