And does anybody know how they're shutting the rear cylinder down, is it fuel or ignition? Anyway, great site & thanks for any info.
I have almost 7000 miles om my 08 Ultra and have never experienced a "wandering problem at high speeds". I have experienced a slight wobble passing semi's at 80mph or blasting into a 35mph curve at 70mph and came across an indentation in the curve. I don't know of any dresser style bikes that won't wobble some when pressed to extremes. As far as wandering, are you actually referring to high speed wobble? When did your dealer tell ya your bike would come in, or is it in stock? Is this your first Glide? This is my first HD ever after riding over 40 years I can tell ya your gonna love it. Whenever I get on mine I always take the longest route to destinations
