Front tire pressure and shimmy
2018 Electra glide limited with three hundred miles on it has a shimmy around 30 to 35 mph. If coasting it will shake its angry head, have checked front tire pressure 40 lbs last week. What is everyone running on the front tire as I believe that's the right pressure

It was alignment issues with my 2013 Electra Glide.
I don't know if your 2018 has the same set up as the 2013, but on mine when you would go to do the final torque to spec on the rear wheel, the adjuster cam on the rite side would turn just a little, this would make my ride exactly the way your describing.
I get a second person to work the torque wrench and i hold the adjuster cam with channel locks, the ride was night and day as one would expect, because the alignment was jacked!!!
look's like these pics are gonna be huge, sorry not real computer literate.

Get that check out its under warranty as soon as possible they should/may send someone to your house to get it. There a couple of thing a mentioned above amonst a few other things that can be a big problem also. If you have a lift lift it and check all bearingband neck bearings and bars atleast before attempting to drive it. Things that come loose or break normally happen soon after put together.
