I've been checking out different fork assy's for possible grafting onto my 07 Dyna in an effort to get better handling and dual (or better) brakes. One of the wide glide forks I looked at (can't remember if it was on a Dyna or a Softail) had about 4 degrees of rake built into the yokes. If yours is this fork, by shortening it you change (reduce) the trail as well as the wheelbase and mass center. These changes could serve to reduce the stability of the bike under acceleration.

Thanks Don,
If I can't get the issue started out, I will look into them.

One thing that does come to mind now...check your steering stem nut for proper torque.
