Just read it.

Here is the link

One thing that really stood out.
I have seen people post that the handling is so much better and that the rear wheel wobble is gone. But I don't recall anyone saying anything about the lack of buffeting caused by crosswinds or turbulence. Guess if that is the cause chalk up another one for the 09 frame.

 

I thought the 09 StreetGlide I rode was considerably stiffer than the 07 I rode a yr & a half ago. It was stable as the article mentoned, but yeah, it rode like a Mack Truck.

 

I've got an '08 touring bike and I never noticed any wobbling.

That said, the touring lineup for '09 looks just fab. I like the new frame pieces, fatter tires and wider fender.

 

I often wondered if improperly balanced tires cause the majority of this problem know as the "wobble." On my '07, I have never experienced a wobble, even at 70-75 mph. Now,l when I change my front tire, there is a noticable "harder" ride until the tire was broken in.

 

I have an 06 Street Glide and do not notice any wobble or crosswind problems.
In fact I was happy that it was so much more stable than my Dyna Glides.

 

Read that again! It says it not the same buffeting. I have ridden behind semi trucks and in windy conditions for years and you are still going to get buffeting if you are on two wheels. I just don't believe it could be non-existence on any motorcycle. Just my 2Cents!

 

The ride of my 09 FLHR is stiffer than my 01 FLHP was. I kept the 17 inch windshield from my 01 and i have found that i get less buffeting on the 09 than i did on the 01. I have a quick dtach fairing and so far i have not wanted to put it on. i didn't want to take it off of my 01 when riding but i kept it when i traded as i knew it wouldn't help the trade-in price.

 

It would seem that the lower profile 17" tire vs the fat 16" old tire would ride firmer just as 18 and 21" swap's do.
