| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2007 harley davidson fatboy. Formerly hd had been having problems with the solid front and rear wheels on them. It seems that they catch a lot of wind which can push or pull the bike side to side. In 2007 they put holes in them to let wind through, it didn't work. When you get on the interstate, it's an all around battle just to stay on the road. When you pass a tractor trailer it's all you can do to hold the bike in the road. Please take a look at this problem before someone gets hurt. *jb |
