2005 Harley Davidson FXDWG - FXDWGI Dyna Wide Glide - Page 2 Questions & Answers
High speed shake 100 mph+
The Dyna Wide Glide was not made to be running at speeds of over a 100 mph. It's upright stance and seating position are not conducive for aerodynamics. That's why the 200 mph Japanese bikes are built like they are, they're more aerodynamic. I've been riding Harleys since 1966 and the only bike they make that MIGHT be anywhere near suitable for that speed is the Sportster. The rest of them are called "cruisers" for a reason. Now, the V-Rod sounds like a Harley that you might be interested in if you a bike that is fast and handles good at those speeds. Not trying to be smart or anything, just telling the facts. Apehangers and high speeds are two things that don't exactly complement each other. If you want to go fast, you need a bike that is designed to go fast. It's much safer that way.

How do i talk off my old grips?
Right grip will come off when brake perch and switch housing comes off. Left grip is usually glued on and when clutch perch and switch housing is removed it is usually cut off but if a screw driver is worked down inside of the rubber grip and some brake kleen sprayed in between the screwdriver and the grip and the screwdriver is wiggled and worked around the rubber grip will usually come off undamaged.
How can i fix the death wobble?
Do you have your handle bars leaned far forward? If so pull them back slightly and it will change the geometry slightly and fixed my wobble.
05 Wide Glide wont start
If it's a single click each time, sounding like it's coming from under the seat area, starter relay, $10 part.
