I have uly gold rims on my 1125r, I noticed very little movement while riding, like the rear/front wobble. Took in to dealer they could not figure anything out. They try to tell me its because mabye the space are wrong cause the rim is the wrong size? They are the same correct? I also had new rear bearing put in 8 months ago, maybe that has to do with the wobble?

Other than the color, the Uly rims weigh a little more due to reinforcement for off road, but the rim is the exact same size and dimensions, so it isn't that. It may be the bearings, but you would have to take off the wheels to see for sure.

Clearly your Dealership staff are Idiots. The only difference between the Uly and the 1125 rims is the color and that the Uly wheels are heavier due to a little extra beef in the lip area for the Uly's potential offroad excursions. The XB12X Uly wheel is factory a Magnesium Grey color, so if you have the heavier Uly wheels, they have been painted. Don't hesitate to call HD customer service and tell them that their dealers/service writers at your dealership don't know the product that they're about to charge you close to $100 an hour to repair.

I'll ask the stupid, but they are properly balanced, yes?

If you can elevate the front and check the wheel bearings for side to side play, check the headset for play by pull the forks to the front and rear
