No more death wobble on Harley Davidson Touring motorcycles

Servus my motorbike friends, some Harley Touring motorcycles experience a strong instability at higher speeds. This simple set of reinforcement bushings from Alloy Art might stop it.
Servus liebe Bikerfreunde, Pendeln bei höheren Geschwindigkeiten-manche Harley Tourer können es nicht lassen. Diese Verstärkungs-Buchsen von Alloy Art schaffen Abhilfe.

I was fortunate enough to live in Germany for a few years and I miss it often. I always appreciated the no nonsense, seemingly dry, but very witty senses of humor that Stefan is full of is great. In regards to the compensator, kush is pronounced more like koosh and is in reference to cannibis, which makes the "legal in 50 states" claim funny, but Stefan relating it to TÜV was hilarious. Again, great vid, will have to do this update myself. Danke!

[@josephmarcheggiani9742]

[@waterkoppie]

Thanks for the show Stefan. Indeed I know how to install the rear wheel, and at 20:22 I see your (?) little detail, that is the black marker spot on the belt tensioner cam, to see if it stays in the same position after riding, so the axle nut is tight enough. I put on the same marker there on my bike, and after replacing the rear tire, I turn the cam back on the marker, and then the rear belt tension is the same as before the rear wheel removal. So I can see that the belt does never stretch on my bikes. And of course, I clean the swing arm as well !

[@therider9731]

I have a 2012 Dyna which shares the same kind of rear end solutions with these Touring of yours. I have had no DW issues whatsoever at the moment, but this is the first time I can finally see in a well made video what they mean when people say these bike’s swingarm is ‘rubber mounted’ to the engine. Now I am pleased to understand, thank you Sir for this instructional content.

[@stefansgarage3014]

You are very welcome, our bike are stable at the Autobahn as well, but some are a hard nut to crack, even with Wilbers suspension upgrade

[@Sir.Fisher]

Dyna's swing arm is not rubber mounted to the engine, and the DW is not caused by the bushes wearing either, its caused by the rear engine to frame mount failing

[@thakery5720]

@@Sir.Fisher And the front mount fails letting the front of the engine move sideways - the rear mount acts like a fuldrum .... FXR's had the same problem. Here in England we had the same experince on Norton Commandos back 50+ years ago although with Nortons the first thing to fail was the swing arm bearings !

[@freebird7284]

good video, the entire kit can be installed without wheel or swingarm removal by just adding it through the plug holes, and without removing the pivot shaft, but a jack is needed to align bushing in hole, fat part of the green goes on bottom.

[@stefansgarage3014]

Definitely not!

[@dewainkozak7360]

Fantastic video describing the procedure of removing the rear swing arm Stephan. I changed the drive belt on my 2018 Street Glide, and followed the Harley Davidson Maintenance manual procedure as written. It’s very confusing when it comes to removing the swing arm axle and bolts from each side, if trying to understand the manual. But after having done it once, and now, watching your video, for those that are going to tackle the job…Stephan’s video makes it abundantly clear as to how to remove the bolts and axle as opposed to how the manual is written. Bravo Stephan! BTW..My rotations have me operating the South Pacific/Caribbean routes from Canada lately. Hopefully I’ll be crossing the Atlantic again in the near future. I’ll be maintaining my listening watch on 123.45… Cheers

You can do a quick measurement with a measuring tape iso the equalizer and check the resistance of the swingarm bearing with wheel and shocks removed, before you go deep down the rabbit hole

[@duffyone4130]

I could do it, but that's a lot of work, but if I need these upgrades I'll pick a snowy day to do it. Glad to see I'm not the only person to keep the swing arm clean, front to back. Although, this CVO is a little tougher to get in and clean the front of the arm. Oh, and I think your new '23 CVO is the best, fast smooth, nice looking, well even smoother when I put the Wilber shocks on.

Clear video, Stefan. Best I've seen on yt in terms of explanation. However, a question about the rear shock absorbers. I have a new set of Hyperpro where the left one is 5mm longer than the right one (it is also in the description). Also, I have Progressive Suspenion 912 lying around where the same applies. So why is that? Greetz from holland

[@stefansgarage3014]

Honestly, I do Hyperpro only on fork springs for models, I don't get Wilbers (as well with good results). I have no idea why they would do symmetrical shocks with different length.

[@patricke.287]

Congrats Stefan for your sensational KZbin Episode now going viral 😎👍 You earned it - please continue to post helpful HD content! I'm sad that you do not change bushings as a service, because I would like to enjoy Apfelstrudel watching you replacing these parts like when you optimzed my bike's suspnsion😄 One question: In standstill or while driving, is there a clear indication that the bushings should be replaced? Greetings from Patrick 🙋‍♂

[@stefansgarage3014]

You would gain a lot of weight while watching me… If your bike isn’t wobbly, don’t change anything. I would check the easy movement of the swing arm during a rear tire change. If the movement is stiff, the swing arm needs to be removed to clean/change the bearings. That’s the proper moment to change the bushings. If you have wobble, change them right away

Cleaned the part. So few do. The mark of a Master in any endeavor.

good video, i have an 08 UC with a stage 3 kit and go 200 kph alot and never had this problem, only issue is with wind on fairing on a windy day that causes a little instability. That 131 is to much motor for laced wheels would have got cast, should have checked to see if all tight when you had it out. Cheers from toronto

[@stefansgarage3014]

Maybe a misunderstanding, it's preventive upgrade. The 2021 CVO with 131 was solid as a rock, we just wanted to get experience on the reinforcement bushings and have an ultralight moving swing arm

[@davidfellows6250]

Stefan is funny.

[@lancmac]

There is an adjustable motor mount link that is on the top front of the engine. It can be adjusted to correct and mis alignment in the frame. The stock fixed length unit is avarage close enough for most bikes but to be exact. The adjustable is required. Great video

[@stefansgarage3014]

Unfortunately not anymore. In 2009 Harley seems to have replaced the adjustable front motor mount with a rigid one. But aftermarket (Rack and Pull) they are still offered.

[@lancmac]

On my 2016 Roadglide the lower mount bracket was still on the frame. No connector there but the mounting point was. I purchased a link that ran from the stock frame mount to the engine mount bolts and used it till I sold the bike last month.. There is also an after market adjustable mount for the replacement of the fixed HD mount link.. @@stefansgarage3014

Hi Stefan, enjoyed this video. What did you do to make the swing arm move freely? And I also keep mine clean!

[@fabriciogonzalez6321]

Hi Stefan I was wondering what your final thoughts were on the bushings and cush drive. Is there another video review on these?

[@stefansgarage3014]

Not yet, as the weather is still to bad to get a lot of miles. There is a significant introduction of engine vibrations by the reinforcement bushings. Therefore on the TC, we removed them. On the M8 it’s noticeable but ok, so here they will stay. I want to emphasize that both bikes were stable and we want to get experience with the bushings. Unstable bikes were cured, with the bushings and an adjustable upper engine mount, as some comments show.

[@indianbill3123]

thanks Stefan…any idea if they are going to make a similar style bushing for the Harley bagger front engine mounts ?

[@stefansgarage3014]

For the front top engine mount there is an adjustable solution, called missing link by rackandpull.com

rackandpull.com The Equalizer

[@amberbali8881]

Good video Stefan. I believe the Rack and Pull industries Equalizer tool used in conjunction with the installation of an adjustable top front stabilizer (replacing the oem non adjustable) to be able to bring the drive train into alignment correct? The swing arm can't move up and down for adjustment as the swing arm pivot shaft runs through the rear transmission case. The adjustable front stabilizer is the key the same as it was on Twin Cams & FXR's.

[@stefansgarage3014]

Definitely correct, I have bought a couple of „missing links“, so far our bikes are not misaligned. So I’m going to keep them for the really bad ones.

[@amberbali8881]

@@stefansgarage3014 Their tool is very nice to have. The missing Link is also a good investment in my opinion. I'm still rocking and loving the Wilbers also. Stay safe.

[@DevilDog59]

You are correct. The only way to get rear swing arm in a correct vertical plan is to check swing arm vertical alignment with the equalizer tool to get a measurement of the left and right rear swing arm. Normally the left side is off due to that being the drive side. In order to properly align the rear swing arm vertical plane. You need to adjust the motor left to right alignment and that is done by replacing the none adjustable stabilizer link with an adjustable stabilizer link this allows you to move the whole drive train to the left or right then check the rear swing arm alignment when stabilizer tool shows in alignment then you can lock down the stabilizer link nuts. Just adding those bushings is not addressing the true issue.

[@njracer34]

How’s the vibrations been? I did mine and it def makes the bike more stable in the corners but I went back to stock cause didn’t like the way the vibrations were. Very buzzy feeling vibrations. Curious to know your thoughts on it

So far we were only able for short testrides, as winter is back in Southern Germany. However all three bikes have been upgraded to Wilbers Nivomat suspension before. Maybe it's a different experience with the FL1 chassis and/or stock suspension. I will do a follow up video in spring, covering aspects like tires/tire pressure and on. By that time we will have enough experience on FL2/3 and 4.

Kurzer Erfahrungsbericht: Hab die Dinger nach 300km testen am Wochenende wieder ausgebaut😟. Verbaut waren sie in einer Street Glide mit 103er TC mit Wilbers Fahrwerk. Alles ordnungsgemäß verbaut, Schwingenlager gereinigt, gefettet und mit dem notwendigen Drehmoment wieder zusammengebaut. Nach dem Einbau wurden die motorseitigen Vibrationen so verstärkt, dass es bis 2000 Umdrehungen fast nicht möglich war den Tacho abzulesen. Extrem spürbar speziell beim Abtouren (Gaswegnehmen). Absolute Zumutung in Verbindung mit dem TC Motor und daher für mich keine Option. Werde jetzt noch mal testen, ob ich nur mit dem korrekt eingestellten verstellbaren Stabi eine Vetbesserung spüre.

Danke, die Geschichte mit dem heiß machen war etwas tricky, wie ich jetzt gelernt habe, gibt es die Buchsen auch bei Maxomation-sogar billiger wie aus den USA mit Zoll etc.

Bringen die Buchsen auch was, bei Originalen Dämpfern hinten? Vorne habe ich bereits die Wilbers Gabelfedern und deren Öl verbaut. Lg

Kann ich nichts zu sagen, das Wackeln verschiebt sich mit unterschiedlichen Fahrwerken eher in andere Bereiche, ist aber nicht die Ursache.

Belt tension should be adjusted every time rear wheel is removed. Don’t rely on marking axle. What if it was a little off when you started ?

Hi Bob, good Input. Of course we checked it, should have put it in the video, but is was getting longer and longer…

Good video except the Flag was technically on right to begin with . The stars should be to the right side . They are backwards on a U.S. uniform because some General at sometime thought the flag should have the stars to the front of a forward motion . I have always thought that was the dumbest thing I've heard of or seen . So you should have one facing one way and the other facing the other by that logic . The logic did come from a U.S. General .... So that should in itself tell you how logical it is.
