Title: front end "slide"
Post by: roosterbike on July 04, 2007, 11:13:59 AM
Ive noticed it more on my 07 more than any other bike Ive ever had. At any speed, a light cross breeze can push my front end at least 2-3 feet. Scares the Heck outta me. anyone out there havethe same prob, and remidies?

No, my legs are hugging the tank, ive really be working on my riding posture coming from a cruiser bckground.
Now if it take off my sails, how will I pass the mopeds on the road? :flipoff: lol kidding
Nah i had just left the house, about 2 miles down the road, and the wind comin off the mountains gave me a great push. Pucker up time, im surprised the tank didnt get squeezed like a zit.
