I have a 16 Road Glide with a high hp built motor and my wobble starts @ about 80mph thru 125-130mph. I run a klock werks 6" and I've been running out of things to check as the cause so I'm very glad you made this video, I'll be taking of the windshield and running my bike hopefully that fixes the problem. Thank you so much and keep up the good work love your content.

I just bought a 2021 Street glide a month ago, I've had it to about 98 mph with no wobble issues. I also have a 2010 Street Glide (bought in 2013) that I've had no wobble issues up to 100 mph several times. I run the Freedom Shields 6 inch shield on both. I don't make a habit of riding over 85 mph on the highways, at 70 years old, I find my reactions times have slowed a bit so I ride a little slower now. I've been very happy with this windshield, which is why it's on both bikes.

I’m glad you figured out the issue with your street glide wobble. I can see that being the case because when I had my K-12 hundred GT and my ST 1300 if my windshield was in the tall position, I could feel the trucks in front of me a lot more. And even with the road Kings, the police bike with a taller windshield is affected more and actually can get a little bit of wobble that slightly lower windshield doesn’t seem to be affected by

I have a 2019 street glide with a KW 10.5 in windshield, with Ohlins suspension, and I stand 6'1" @250 lbs. I don't have any wobbling issues. Additionally, around 70 mph, the wind pushes the front end down. Preventing the wobble effect at any speed. I recommend trying different sizes for the KW windshield. Thank you for sharing your experience, I have learned a lot from you.

From the comments, it seems that some of the aftermarket windshields on the batwing causes a wobble, but not so much on the RG. I have a 14" KW Sport Flare on my 21 RG and at high speeds, (over 105) it moves around a small bit. Enough to make me get out of it. It kind of makes sense that the wind pushing against it will cause some distortion in how the bike handles at high speeds. Gonna put the stock on and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for making this vid Tall.

Glad you (or should I say the builder) found the issue for your setup--and that is the key. Both aerodynamics and chassis dynamics affect high speed stability. Your height and weight are significant factors as well compared to other riders'. Choosing a proper windshield (or not) is critical for safety...not just looks and wind protection, whether racing or touring. Your body's shape contribution to drag/buffeting/instability is also a factor...for everyone. I worked in the MIT Wright Brothers wind tunnel while a student, and I drag (and road) raced back in the 60's at significantly lower power and speed levels than you. I won 15/16 class races running a 305/350 highly modified Honda (with fairing, roller cams, overbore, etc) and then a Bridgestone 350 GTR (with a lot of trick rotary valve, CDI, and stinger mods). Since both were highly modified, I was stuck in the unlimited modified street bike class (750 cc+) (literally street legal). Not only were my eye/hand/foot reactions a significant factor (I could "see" that last yellow light dim before becoming the next green/red light), but I did everything to balance the chassis and constantly evaluated every contribution to aerodynamic stability for the high end of the runs. I am always amazed by what you can do and communicate to the motorcycle community. Thanks.

Back in 1995, doing over 85 miles an hour, my 1995 FLSTN went into a wobble. I did have a windshield on the bike! Harley Dealer found nothing wrong with the bike, so I would have to assume that it was the windshield that made the wobble! TY for the video, eased my mind about the 95 Nostalgia

Good stuff Tall. I have the 4” KW shield and I get the wobble around 105 to 120. For me it depends on conditions I noticed. One time it got so bad during decel that the only way to not crash was to get back in the throttle and decel gradually again. I also have a 21 on the front 18 rear. Legends front and back.

Glad you got that wobble figured out. I remember seeing you at cecil county dragway and you told me about it then, may have been one of the first times it happened? You thought it was the front wheel then. Glad it's something less expensive. I have the memphis shades I believe 8 inch windshield on my 22 street glide st, and have not wobble problems. Always feels planted at any speed.

I have a 23 street glide special and i get the wobble or that’s what i think it is. The bike is hard to hold on to the bars at around 80 -85 mph. I thought it was what others call buffering but I believe its the same. I changed the factory windshield out with in the first few days so I never had the bike to those speeds before putting on the Klock works 8” with the curl. I am going to put the factory windshield back on and test this myself. My buddy has a 23 street glide also and he said he has never had this issue and he has always had the factory windshield. I am anxious to find out. I will have to deal with the wind on my helmet but that will be better than the bike being hard to hold on to. Thanks! I love your content! It has always been so helpful and informative.

I experienced a very bad high-speed wobble on my 2005 Ultra at 105mph when I tested it out after some modifications. Interestingly, I had cut the windshield down on that bike. My 2015 Ultra had no wobble whatsoever at 115, stock windshield and performance rear shocks. I changed out the front end on the 2005 with some performance suspension parts and it cured the wobble.

😊Tall: great video. The only time I ever had a high speed wobble was on my 2004 ultra at 85-90 mph with a stock windshield; happened twice on a road trip. Current bike is a 20 SGS 114 with just cobra nh pipes and a 8” freedom shield windshield. Been at 100-105 with no wobble; bike has 14,000 miles. I wonder if you might get several different makes and heights of shields and see if one of your sponsors could arrange for some wind tunnel testing with the smoke to see what the results show. Just a thought.

I have a 2014 Street glide and have experienced the exact same problem after installing a S&S 124” HC with a DD7! I have replaced all suspension with Ohlins. New motor mounts, Head bearings & swing arm bearings. I didn’t notice any difference until I installed the True Track rear stabilizer and the bike is way more stable at higher speeds and after decel on hard acceleration. Is that the lowest KW windshield? I believe that’s the same one that I have. Did you ever experience bagger wobble in the turns? Love the video!!! What MPH did the bike trap in the 1/4?

I have the exact same problem! 2021 FLHTK running a built 131, 166hp. I installed both True-Track frame braces, $1000. No luck, swapped tires nope. Swapping windshields, was using the Klock Werks Flare 8.5 and 10.5 shields. Very flimsy and they flutter at high speed. I switched to the 11.4 Freedom shield, 30% thicker than stock. This thing has no flex, it is better but at 100+ it still feels skittish. I hate that. Let me add Ohlins rear shocks and front springs, new HD tires, best of everything, ridiculous.

Makes perfect since that the windshield would cause a wobble. It can change the up or down force on the front end and can create vortexes that can change the intended airflow over the fairing. I've been running a 7 inch HD Wind Splitter on my 2011 SG for 10 years and I've never had a wobble at high speed.

This is just a note from what we called. Tank slappers in the 70s. I would dare say anytime you get a wobble or tank slapper. It is only caused by what is called harmonic vibrations. Of the same frequency meeting. At the same time under acceleration or de- acceleration. The front fork angle rakes in and the angle becomes less. If you think about it the windshield is putting pressure on the front end. Which pushes the forks in which decreases the rake angle. These two circumstances tag together with raking the forks in and you got problems.
@markwilkerson1185
@markwilkerson1185 9 күн бұрын
Sorry this is an edit. Only under the de-acceleration does the forks rake in you can get a tank slapper. These can happen under acceleration or acceleration. But for sure under the de- acceleration it becomes drastically more dangerous.

I might give the stock windshield a shot, i am running a homebrew cutdown that is set to kick the wind right at chin height. Think its time to experiment and see what works best for me.

I wonder is it a combination of the riders height above the windshield, sitting position, helmet type, bar size or a little bit of all that makes a difference.

23 Street Glide ST, I have both the Klock Werks 5” & 7.5” I have had the wabble with both but feel like it is worse with the 5 inch. It’s kinda disappointing, they aren’t cheap and advertised that they create “downforce” which is supposed to help with handling. I’m coming off a road glide before this bike and just figured it was a street glide thing, not a aftermarket window thing exclusively. Maybe Memphis Shades windshield is better?

This helps bc I have a 8in curved windshield on my 2010 street glide and at 80ish it starts to pick up a weird wobble and I’m thinking this may be the problem now

08 streetglide. Klockwerks 8.5" helps a lot. 08 has chassis flex from rear swingarm. GlidePro Stablizer System works great. Highly recommend both to smooth out the wobbles. Cruises at 100. If I accelerate hard it will still want to move around 105..110 Hit almost 120 not long ago and it felt pretty good..so with my bike it just depends on several factors. But the glidepro and klockwerks make that possible, for my comfort level, anyway.

I do have that same issue at high speed and just like you have stated, I have it once I am at 80 m/h + .. it's a 2023 street glide special, with stock windshield and it's very scary when it happens as I am riding. This is my first Harley Davidson. The only mod is some slip on exhausts. What should I do in that case Tall?

I’ve got that windshield and only notice a wobble over 85 but not always. I guess maybe it depends on which way the winds blowing

It is not the window. There is an Allen screw on each side of the gooseneck that can be adjusted. Jack the front of the bike up. Just get the tire off the ground. Pull the handle bar left or right to the stop and let it go. If it doesn’t swing back and stop in the center it’s out of adjustment. So this from left and then from right. When it centers from both sides it’s fixed! Hope this helps. I love you channel.

Thanks for the advice but I've done that already. The neck is properly tightened, i went through everything including changing the swing arm bushings. I got Ohlin's all way around, new rims and tires. I tried everything and this it the only thing that worked. I will replace the windshield with something different from Klock Werks. Thanks for watching.

Hi I just saw your video.... very interesting. I have built a Street Glide 2019 during the winter/spring 132ci 170hp 200nm. I've ridden the Pro-Stock bike before in Europe 9 times European Champion, but I've never been so scared as when I high-speed tested my new bike. Around 160kmh 100mph they start to wobble.... have a 12" handlebar they are probably not the optimal ones if you want to test 1/4 or 1/8...... if I pulled my elbows in towards the body and crawled in front down behind Batwing, they worked better, drove 200kmh but they were a bit scary..... I have an aftermarket windshield, don't know the brand, but about 4" will definitely try without a windshield in the spring.

contact knock werks and explain to them, you might not have the right windshield for your height. they can help ya for sure. i think a 8.5 or a 10.5 height would help with more down force.

How does that wobble compare to other wobbles that I’ve seen on sport bikes or touring bikes like the BMW K1600 ? I wonder what else can cause wobbles..
