| I would like to know if any list members have experienced the infamous high speed wobble on their loopframes and would be willing to share this experience with the group.My eldo is currently shod with Conti Blitz tires,and sports wixom bags,trunk and Bates 700 fairing.I have ridden the bike at an indicated 90mph with no hint of instability,although i can feel a little bobble in the rear tire when crossing over painted lines on the highway at high speed.Im wondering if the reported episodes of instability are a sudden event or are they caused by a dynamic set in motion by a rear wheel bobble such as i feel on my bike when passing slow moving vehicles on the highway.Would appreciate any info.Next weekend at Gunstock Ski resort there is a vintage bike show&swap meet on Sat.,vintage roadrace on Sun.,and an awesome hillclimb event on Wed.Check out www.gunstock.com for info.Hope to see more than than one loopeframe there this year.Will post pics in a couple weeks.Thanks Scott K. I have experienced the high speed wobble on my eldo |
gets downright uncontrolable soon after, unless i
totally get off the throttle.
My wobble is not in the rear tire, but in the front
end, tire type, windshield/no windshield, fairing/no
fairing, ect..... nothing seams to prevent this from
happining. So i just figure it as my built in
anti-speeding ticket device.
