been trying to figure out the poor handling of flhs at high speed.Ive done a few up greades and Im looking into the front end design.For one its only 28 degrees and second its the only bikes with the fork center behind the fork stem center.Im wondering how much this affects the very lite feeling front end which I think has big affect on the high speed wobble problem.
&nbsp\\; Ondering if any other had any thoughts on this.

 

Poor Handling, don't have a clue what your talking about[8D]

 

Ditto on what WildBill said.&nbsp\\; Poor handling??

 

you must be an engineer, leave it be its fine. your reading WAY to many threads!!!!!

 

All baggers have reverse triple trees. Unless they've changed they're 26 deg. My '86 FLH and '05 RKC are the same and neither have a high speed problem.

The triple trees aren't backwards on the FLH's, they are backwards on all the other Bikes!!!!!!

 

&nbsp\\; it has been explained that the reverse tripple trees is what makes the big glides handle so great at slow speeds.&nbsp\\; But it would be highly educational if you would set up a set of forward tripple trees and run them thru several ten thousand mile tests and let us all know how they worked!
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; But there is a couple dozen veribles that all could contribute to poor handlin.&nbsp\\; So give us more info and we will try and help with the poor handlin you ARE havein with your bike.

 

So true.. Touring bikes track straighter w/ less effort w/this design..all others will turn quicker as the bars fall to the sides.. Jack up your bike and see, Touring bikes front wheel will stay straight Dyna's will fall to either side..
