the bike has never been better!
I had no clue the front end was really that sloppy, but had issues with its handling at high speeds and when I would change lanes it would do a slight wobble or just sloppy handling in general.
I inserted 2" x 3/4" pvc spacers on top of my springs and man o man does it ever feel better, feels tighter, one handed rideability has improved a billion times over.

Old school!
Just make sure you're not getting the springs to coil bind at maximum compression.

Hey Tim, I've got some machine work if you're interested.

Yep, I have done quite a few Harleys, it's really remarkable how much it changes the way the bike handles. And yes it does still go potato potato.
