Twin Cam Synthetic Oil

its a help when you have options...thanks for the info.

on a new subject...about 20 years ago, I experienced a low speed wobble on my old 1995 FLHTCUI and found out about the swingarm bolted, rubber mounted to the transmission instead of the frame. so I got the progressive transmission and frame support turn buckle and never felt the bucking again, I still have the bike and ride it daily. so has anyone else experienced the wobble at low or high speed? I guess the big thing is not to freak out when it happens.

That last line...GREAT ADVICE! I used to race mountain bikes pretty hard core, I have gotten myself out of some real pickles by keeping my cool when I was about to lose it. LOL, I have found it best to save the freaking out until after the event was over. :D Fortunately I never experienced any wobbles on the motorcycles. But I would not get a motorcycle when I was younger and in my racing days since I liked to go fast. ;) Got older and found happiness in slow & steady. ;)
 
Some on here have reported a wobble due to a bad bearing in the neck, some also said loose spokes in spoked wheels have caused a wobble. I would think an unbalanced wheel or bent wheel could also cause a wobble.
 
well, it sounds like poor equipment and upkeep is what really is the problem with the bikes getting into a wobble. Thanks for the info. I am getting up in in years now and riding hard and fast is in the rear-view mirrors for me. enjoy the ride and the fall colors.
