Have speakers or a tool bag or such on the front of the bike?

I have check neck bearing,tire pressure, motor mounts etc, yes i have a front fairing with 4 Rockford speakers and deck in front, my next step is to change rear tire and have spokes checked out, I did have them checked before but not to confident in who checked them....why would it smooth out with her on and wobble without

Dismount all that weight from the front and see if that changes/calms the oscillating. I suspect it may.

The rear death wooble ( as known on here ) is helped not do it with a heavier rider or leaning forward. The later being the beat way to stop it & slowing down of course. Just some info till you get it sorted out. Maybe a true track link is in your future, have one on my bike along with new everything before that.

I had a set of Shinkos on my last Road King and never had any problems with them. I never heard of the problem you are referring to either. Did that happen to you?
