That pretty well covers that! Hope your bike is easily cured.

As for Avons I use Venoms and think they are well worth it. They do however recommend slightly higher pressures for most Harleys, so make sure they are correct if using them. Info is available on their website or email them to be sure.

Sounds good, thanks for the advice. Now that i think about i do believe I should start by replacing the tire. Like i said there is good tread on it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have wierd wear to it.

Run your hand down it and you will feel all those little waves. I'd be willing to bet on it.

Got the new tire last week. I mean't to reply as soon as i got back. ANyway as soon as i left the shop i noticed it was like a new bike. Unbelievable! Absolutely no wobble. I can't believe how easy of a fix that was. Thank you guys for the heads up. What I was doing before was i would go through two rear tires and change my front with every other rear. But i think from now on I'm just going to replace both of them everytime to prevent such sloppyness from happening again.

I'm glad you got it straightened out. Tires can be kind of funny like that.
