Our current bike - '07 EGC, and prior ones - '04 EGC & '01 RK - never showed any signs of any kind of wobble. Was this something only experienced in '08 models by some people. You describe our riding style.

I'm kind of wondering if the new frame design isn't a prelude to going to water-cooled in 2011. The way they describe the way the frame is bent, welded, etc. is exactly how they do the frame on the V-Rod.
