Death wobble

[Citykid]

Hi everyone, newbie here. I'm switching over from an older Road Glide to a 17 SGS. I had to put a brace on my bike because of the infamous death wobble. The brace really firmed up the ride at high speeds. I see on the new Glides the brace I have wouldn't fit. Do you guys find you need on, if so what did you add?
Thanks.

No need for any braces since 2014. Some guys put in stiffer swingarm bushings from Glide-Pro. You may get some more vibration as they are stiffer and isolate less.

I have not felt any wobble at high-side of speed limits and "highway speed"

Thank you boys. I look forward to picking up and ridin the SGS next week!

Also, front tire pressure can contribute as I found out myself one time.

I run an air ride suspension (rear) and have experienced this with, and without a heavy load/various levels of air.
Have been wondering what people are doing to "tighten" up the '14 SG.

Well I got the bike. Handles great. A little front sag when breaking hard. But no wobble. And yeah, tire pressure make a huge difference!

Coming from Vulcans people complained about wobbles for years. I personally have never felt it espescially on my '16 SGS. VERY smooth. Not to say you're not getting it but just my experience.
