What you describe typically occurs when the neck adjustment is extremely loose or when the fuel tank is loose.

My handlebars shake bad when I hit 65mph. The bushings seem ok. And it’s just the bars not the whole 2010 Flstc
Hi Dale,
Here is what our expert had to say:
Make sure you are running. A good set of tires. If you have spoke rims, inspect front & rear.
We suggest that you also inspect front & rear wheel bearings as well as neck bearing adjustment.
If, at some point, you have tires dismounted, inspect rims for true.

2020 FLHC M8 107 Blow-By. Having heavy Blow-by even after 1 qt. less in oil… What is the best DIY Head Breather – External Breather System.
I have a currently Stage 1 Screamin Eagle round part# 29400355. Found no solution.
On order Stage 1 Screamin Eagle Ventilator air cleaner kit part# 29400299. On back order.
What can be done. No help from Harley-Davidson, just run with less oil. (still having
Blow-By) I run around 2400-2800 rpms.
Hello Victor,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
If you are continously having excessive blow by; even when running a low oil level, you need to pursue the issue with the dealership or corporate.
What you describe is unacceptable. A different high flow air cleaner assembly is not going to correct the condition.

Does this problem apply to a 2011 triple x trike?
Hey Michael,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
Yes. If your neck bearing adjustment is too loose, you will have the same condition.
