2012 Harley-Davidson Flhtcuse problems

Filed Jul 16, 2013 · Steering, Suspension · 7,500 miles · VT

Since vehicle was new, there is a severe issue with movement or wobble of the motorcycle at highway speeds. This does not appear to be made worse by other vehicles in close proximity, and issue has been experienced on open roads with no other vehicles around and no wind. Issue appears to be a front end problem. Tires have been checked, alignment has been checked, front shocks have been checked, wheels have been checked. Nothing has corrected the problem. Located a dealer with a different style front wheel and had it installed in place of the factory wheel and issue went away. Had factory wheel reinstalled and problem came back. I believe that the design of the chrome "chisel" front wheel is causing turbulence which makes the motorcycle unstable at any speed above 60 MPH.
