I own a 06 fatboy. Anything over about 30-40 miles per hour, if I chop the throttle and coast my front end starts to shake.Not real bad as log as you hang on to the bars, other wise it could get out of control. Applying the rear brake makes it even worse.I've played with tire pressure 5 lbs above and below the rcomended with little or no help. It's not a major safty issue right now but any advise would be appriciated.

Optional Information:
2006 Harley Davidson Fatboy 88" duel cam

Already Tried:
adjusting tire pressure

Hi chopper,

Thanks for your time. In answer to your question, On the way to sturgis I would lock the throttle and lean back against the sleeping bag for miles. The only time it happens is when I decelerate. I'm going to lift the bike off the ground and I'll get back to you.
