ORIGINAL: Comfortably Numb
I occasionally experience what I'll say are the same same symptoms on my RK.
Mine is definately a 'front-end' thing. The way I would describe it it that sometimes when I'm bucking a headwind, (always going into the wind) a gust sets off some sort of harmonic ocillation in the steering. It's usually easy to get it to stop, but it catches me off guard sometimes.
This is NOT the rear of the bike in my situation. ie, not rear wheel steering. Having True-Track or otherwise isn't the cure this one..... at least on my RK.

My dealer told me that stabelizers are a waste of money, they are not needed on aharley, if they were the MOCO would install them at the factory! Could you believe that crock of sh#%
Scary, isn't it?
I think I'm gonna try the ridestra8 model. I think they are all overpriced but if itprevents an accident you can't put a price on that!

I know it is not related to rear wheel steering that True Track and Ride Str8 address because I HAVE the equivalent of RideStr8 and True Track on my RK and I still get the same front-end oscillations when riding into the wind on occasion. I KNOW there are rear problems, but a stabilizer isn't going to solve what the initial poster is experiencing. What he describes is not rear wheel steering.
