Have you had a laser alignment? It made a big difference on my 2011 RTL running highway speeds. It used to dart around on me and after an hour or so of that I would be ready to pull over to rest.

I love the interstate highways but I may be spoiled because they are pretty nice in the west, unlike some of the highways in the east. On our trip home from Spyderfest, via North Carolina we had to ride the last 1000 miles at 60 mph because Joe's fuel pump was acting up. That did make me a bit crazy as I usually like to set the cruise around 80 mph. I did manage to get 45 mpg while towing my loaded trailer but I'd rather have made it home a day earlier.

yeah, had it aligned back in dec 2015 right after I bought it. made a difference but not sure it was aligned as well as it could be. probably could stand to be checked. who knows. according to the gauge I have the air pressures are good. going to search for a good quality digital gauge and try it. I do get a lot of buffeting so I might order a set of the deflectors that attach to the ones just behind the windshield and see what happens. i installed the oversize windshield with vents last year. bike is supposed to have Rons sway bar, although the nylon links haven't been swapped out for the billet ones. I do tend to ride in one side of the lane or the other instead of the center. maybe that's the problem. roads around here are junk so it's hard to tell.
