finally fixed.  been fighting for months.
at 95 M.P.H. i got a death wobbell.  well not really a wobbell more of a sway.
no head shake from forks, just whole bike leaning side to side.  kinda no fun.
i just put on new pipes and carb and air cleaner.  wanting to go faster but had this handling governor.  94 was fine, 95 repeatable , was no fun
sooo, i returned to stock shocks, took off the FXDX ones, checked spokes, checked swing arm bushings, checked motor mounts, checked alignment, checked and checked..
my new metzlers with 3k miles could not be the problem...ahem...
for the fun of it (yeah real fun) i put on a rear dunlop i had laying around ...
now a different high speed problem.....
at 110 i have to shift into 5th gear.   yahooo...
sooo next step is replace both tires with new dunlops.....
