Got the monster over 100 today and it started to wobble in the front end! People have informed me this is due to the winshield on the Classic Tourer...anybody else experience this?

Is it the Roadster screen or a different design? I have the roadster and my 05 Rocket and the bike is stable over 100 mph.

I do get a low speed wobble when the front tire starts to cup at about 9k miles.

I was dumb enough to hit the rev limiter in 5th gear with my fly screen once. She was rock steady.

I just have the stock windshield that came on the 07 Classic Tourer. It was a pretty significant wobble that I was warned about by a few people.

Check air pressure front and rear. Then try a run without the screen.
Might be front tire out of balance or front rotor (?). I always thought that adding a screen calmed things down at speed (once all the nuts and bolts are snugged). I have the Triumph original screen and a taller Clearview screen on my 05.

I have the large windshield too and I have had mine to 120 with no problems. I don't think I would like to ride far at that speed but it was steady as a rock.

What are you guys setting your tire pressure at (front and rear)?

TallRocket · 06-14-2007, 04:37 PM

34 lbs front and 42 rear

Also consider a few minutes with your tool kit and snug up the bolts on the radiator screen, trim etc.

Same here. Roadster screen with fork deflectors. Not only steady but fairly comfy too. Well, relatively speaking anyway (IME most bikes with cruiser-upright riding position get pretty brutal in the 3-digits).
