For the stock Dunlops ?? I should boost it up closer to 40 ? I'll give it a try and see if that helps. Otherwise, I'll have my indy shop check it out

i've always ran 40 in the front and never had a problem. good tread life and traction. i put my third front tire on at 25,000. it runs very straight and smooth

If it continues, it is probably your fallaway. Just need to adjust it. There is another thread about the "wobble" somewhere here in softails.

I had this a few weeks ago and it drove me nuts. Since it couldn't hurt anything I put the grease gun on the neck and started giving it a few squeezes. 15 squeezes of the handle before I noticed any movement at the lower seal. Once I cleaned it up I took it for a spin and no more shake. I watch that a bit closer now since I do my own service so either the last service I forgot to add grease or it has been squeezing out a bit more than I thought. I doubt that since there was no added grease on the front of the bike.
