Just got an e-mail from a friend who has been having wobble problems on his Harley, and tried a variety of things. Well, some helped, some didn't but the wobble wouldn't completely go away. One result was a badly worn front tire, which he replaced a couple of months ago, thinking the wear/cupping might be part of the problem.
Turns out, the front tire/rim were never properly balanced, and when he took it off and had a local independent shop check the balance, they found it needed some weights. So far so good-and supported one of our favorite indy shops in Poway CA. The good thing is, since we can ride year round in SoCAL, he's back in the wind for a CMA meeting and a fundraiser ride this weekend.
Now if I can get some miles on my bike before he wears out that front and has me help him replace it!
