“There is a speed wobble starting in the 60's and continuing through the 70's+ on straight roads and curves. This has been happening for years and I still continue to spend money adjusting etc. The bike I've spent thousands in labor and parts to fix and or adjust the bike without success. I've called harley davidson more than once to be told that they are not aware of an issue and I'm on my own because it is out of warranty. I've researched the internet to find dozens of news and private complaints to the problem. Even a class action suit website.”
NHTSA complaint #10790297, filed 2015-11, 26,000 miles“I have a 2008 harley davidson ultra classic that has developed a rear wheel wobble while cornering or going through curves. The vehicle feels like the rear wheel slides or shifts to the side while cornering upsetting the balance of the bike and making it uncomfortable/dangerous to ride. It has progressively gotten worse and I will no longer ride the motorcycle. I've had the motorcycle into the dealer at least 3 times for the problem. The first two times they advised me they couldn't find a problem. I currently have the vehicle at a h-d dealer service shop. …”
