I agree its the tire. Doesn't bother me much because there is no wobble with hands on the bars, but it does wobble if you take off all pressure. Had them do the adjustments on the steering head and regrease the neck bearings -- no help. Now if I could just figure out how to get dynabeads in these tube tires. Rolled right in on my Big Dog. I think that would fix the problem until I need new tries.

I've read a lot of wobble posts where it was related to the head set bearings and changing tires didn't help. I'm thinking of greasing the bearings myself when I get my bike just to make sure that it doesn't become a problem. Does anyone thing this is worth doing and if so what kind of grease should I use. I know the bike will still need fall away adjustment I just want to make sure that the bearings have enough grease to seat properly.

After the 1000 service I still had the wobble. I greased the head bearing which took 26 pumps with my grease gun to fill (obviously Stealer did not check). That did not solve the problem. I checked the Fall Away Adjustment and it was within spec. At 8000 miles I changed my front tire and the wobble disappeared.

Yup, My 2012 has the same wobble between 40-45 mph.
It only has about 600 miles on her.
I thought it was odd that there was no balancing weights on the front tire when I got her and thought that was the problem. Maybe it is the wheel. But we'll see when I bring her in for her 1000mi. service.

Just got the phone call my 9.25" Russ Wernimont METAL cruiser rear fender is ready to ship. FYI folks, Steve at RWD said pass it along that he will do 9.25" upon request. Also those wondering it's a few extra stretch from stock (comes down to axle and should look awesome when aired down).
And he knocked off about $100 for dealer price...$300 total.

How many miles are on your bike? It was really irritating to find out they were going to try and charge me to replace the tire. From what I understand, it was a bad batch of tires. After my warranty is out I am definitely switching tire brands. It should not matter how many miles are on the bike if it is a known problem.
