Default RE: Road Sofa Wobble, and the fix

I've put 35,000 on my 05 Road King, much of it two up and loaded with luggage and I've never, ever gotten wobble except once. The rear wheel spokes got loose on me and I broke three of them. I think I read somewhere where Harley upgraded the bushings and fittings somewhere in the early 2000s. The photo sequence used for advertisements is a sham and I wouldn't trust any parts from a company that would use it. It clearly has nothing to do with high-speed wobble. Stupidity maybe, but not wobble.

I had it once on a SuperGlide and it is very scary at 100 mph.Not every cause is the same,and it should be fixed.

ORIGINAL: Comfortably Numb

If you look at the front tire of the bike that the guy is riding that went down, it is overinflated that doesn't help at all!
You can tell looking at that pic that the tire is overinflated?
Really?

Who needs air pressure gauges?
