2003 harley davidson fxdp m/c. Had both tires changed by an independent service business. Note: changing tires on a m/c requires the vehicle to be realigned. From this time the m/c began to wobble, and became unstable. I returned it to same business who could not remedy the problem, and have presented it to 3 different harley davidson dealers who have been unable to remedy the problem. Being that it is a m/c that is unstable, it is a potential life threatening condition. Each of the repair attempts involved changing and/or servicing the steering head bearings, front forks (shock absorbers), and alignment adjustments. Have also changed to another brand of tire, all to no avail.
