What is everyone running for steering stabilizers? I have a friend who is looking to clear up his high speed front end wobble on this street glide.

 

Whats high speed? My limited will do 100 and not wobble and i dont have a stabilizer.

 

Hmmm, 8 posts and inquiring about a wobble for a friend. .

 

.

Not sure what makes having 8 posts strange about the question?

 

He just got the bike, it is a 2019 street glide special, we both noticed when you run the bike at about 110-120km around a long sweeping corner it feels like the front tire/ steering starts to walk around, from what I have been reading Guys have fixed that with a steering stabilizer.

 

At 75mph? I havent noticed any such thing, nor am I aware that it has been much discussed on the forum. I would suggest trying to diagnose the problem first before you buy an add on doo-dad that would cover up, rather than solve the problem.

 

It's a fork-mounted fairing, you are going to feel a lot of input at high speeds. You can counter this at a few different angles; different windshield (I like the Klockwerks Flare), upgraded / stiffer front suspension, upgraded handlebars specifically something like Kraus T-Bars.

 

thank you for your input, greatly appreciated.
I was getting worried that no one was going to reply with useful information.

 

Before is install a stabilizer I’d change out the fork oil to something thicker. Screaming Eagle oil performs much better the what the factory uses. But at those speeds you need good suspension. I’m “shocked” at how bad Harley shocks are. Throw on Legends or Progressive. If you can afford it go with Öhlins. Unless you have a bad tire good suspension will take care of the wobble.

 

We're only talking normal highway speeds here, and with my '18 Street Glide I don't feel any of the instability mentioned. How's the front tire pressure/condition?
