Default For those how installed 8 degree trees.

I just finished installing my 8 degree trees and took it for a long test drive. Love the look and the feel but does anybody have a vibration on the front tire "up and down" at speeds of approx 80 miles per hour. Thanks

Not here. It sounds as if your wheel is out of balance.

Would tire pressure have any effect on this?

I have dyna beads and i would imagine the vibration would be more from 50miles per hour and up. Well i need to recheck my work. Any other things to check let me know,

Well, if you have the DynaBeads then i would suggest you raise the bike, and check for loseness in the front end. Could be you didnt torque down the main bolt enough? I know there was one rider last year who said there was some slop in the bolt and the nut underneath the bottom tree. He ended up installing some more washers to take the slack out.

Do a forum search using 'trees wobble' and you'll see some feedback that might resemble what you are feeling. I recall a slight wobble at high speed early on but I've done a lot of 80+ MPH riding with the trees and 3" extenders and it feels rock solid now. I don't know if I just ignore it now or it went away.
