cornering issues with a road king

The issue he's talking about is the flexing of the swingarm from the rubber motor mounts on older frames (<2009). Adding a stabilizer (e.g. Progressive Tuning Link, True-Track, etc.) improves handling considerably, but some frame flex will still be felt under certain conditions. The OP's complaint doesn't sound like this issue, though, as it shouldn't be worse in either left or right corners. Note that worn tires can cause wobble. My last Dunlop E3 tire caused considerable wobble in corners when its thread depth became < 2/32", and it completely went away after installing a new tire.

Thanks to all for your replys.
I have already (thanks to the info found on this board )installed a stabilizer. I have the progressive one and the whobbling feeling in the corner is gone. This issue not... i have ordered last week some really needed new tyres and choosed for the michelin commander 2.
