Well I've now got a Harley Reference #. So at least MOCO didn't just blow me off. I'm setting up the appointment for the dealer to look at it. Waiting for their callback. We'll see from there...but hopefully the wobble wheel goes in the trash bin for meltdown.

Only problem though is someone had to set up the machine.

I still think it's the casting. The wheel was centered in the machines it seems, because the decorative holes in the wheel seemed okay in the video. Poor casting, in my opinion.

You're absolutely right Faast Ed. The tire tracks perfectly. The flaw is in the casting itself. I'm just amazed that this wheel made it through QC.

I'm happy to say that the dealer is taking care of the wobble wheel and taking it off of my hands. The new wheel is on order and hopefully it'll get here faster than paint sets do.
