can anyone tell me if they have had any problems towing with their valkyrie?

I have been told they sometimes get a shimmy or viberation when towing.

Vibration could be from several completely different causes

too little air in the front tire? or the back
I run 42 front and 46 rear when towing (Metzlers)

Are you running the right weight at the hitch
too much is as bad as too little  one will make the bike sway with oscillations and one makes the front "unload"

Both will cause a laundry problem real quick

Use of a good digital fish scale will cure that easy

Is the steering head bearing ok?  I wish I knew how to check and lube mine.  If it is out that could do it

I know many people who tow with their valks and enjoy it including myself. Lets see there is Pierre, Pistolchamp (he also makes trailers or did until recently) Warlock, Bear, 3Wlonerider, and I am sure I am leaving lots of folks out but is late.
