Once you have checked your alignment and made sure the fall away is correct. And that you have checked all the things on the list you might want to look into something like this:The Original True-Track
tires were done at a local, considered a top guy, garage. so I trust him for putting them on the right way.
they're Metzelers and are the proper size!
the first time I noticed the wobble I thought I had a flat rear tire, that's kinda what it feels like.
it started about a week ago. I thought the tire pressure was wrong, but that was not the problem. when I ride off the sidewalk, it also feels like it bottoms out and there's a sound like when you would drop your toolbox on the floor... :shock
I owned a 1997 FXDS then a 2000 FXDS from new.. From what you say, and THEY say (knowledgable members here) Look at the rear swing bushings, wheel bearings, and alignment.
The alignment tool for the rear wheel its self was a piece of heavy clothes hanger (18" long) with a Point ground and a 90* bend on that end Long enough OUT(2") to allow you to place that point partially into the alignment hole on the frame and Clear over all the obstacles and get an accurate measurement (on each side) to the center point of the axle...that ALSO gets it straight with the belt and to get it straight with the swing-arm. (fine tune with the rotation of the belt moving the tire Forward rotation) Then the Long adjustment wheel to wheel...
I used a couple 10' 2x6's (straight edge board) to get the rear to front straight by adjusting the front engine adjuster... Once Straight , they handle great.
But what do I know? that was long ago:bigsmiley31:
