Title: Headlight mounted Windsheild.
Post by: Julio A. on December 29, 2010, 05:59:46 AM

It's my first time in the Expressway with the R65, at speeds around 120km/h, It felt like I was playing tug of war with my handlebars; I was wobbling all over the place.

I think It has something to do with the headlight mounted windsheild currently installed.

Yep!!!  That's why I took mine off.  I'd rather have the wind than the input into my steering from all that buffeting.  Now I just avoid the Interstates... ::)

---edit---
Let me try again.  Mine was a HANDLEBAR mounted windshield.  I have no issues with my small Headlight mounted screen. . .

Don't overlook checking the swingarm bushings and setup.  Small errors in that can have an effect on high speed wobbles.
