What makes cornering difficult on a cruiser bike?
Obviously the low clearance is the major problem. What makes this worse is the long wheelbase, forward foot controls, plush suspension, long and low pipes, raked-out forks and even low panniers. It seems everything is against rapid cornering. But you’ve got to work with what you’ve got and make the best of it.

What causes a motorcycle to counter steer when going around a corner?
The slower, the more they will be affected by gravity. I raised the rider hight on the rear of a Ducati monster m900 and if I go too high the bike starts turning inwards when going around a corner causing me to counter steer. This is caused by issues in geometry when front fork angle becomes too steep.
What’s the best way to turn in a corner?
That means a late turn-in with an early apex. That way, you will also see further around the corner and have a sooner indication of whether you need to tighten your arc or open up your line. But beware of the sudden flick into the corner as this will load the front forks. Turn smoothly into the corner so the suspension is not compressed.

Why is my motorcycle handling so bad in corners?
If you find that you have to use a lot of muscle to initiate a turn and then you have to keep pressure on the grips to hold your line through a corner, the first thing you should check are your tires. A worn profile will cause this kinda handling, but so will underinflated tires, even if they’re just two or three pounds.
Why does my bike wobble when I turn a corner?
Some of you may remember when the old flat windshields would sometimes cause a speed wobble. Air spilling unevenly around those shields would pump the handlebar from side to side and overcome the bike’s damping reserve. Big square boxes high up on the rear can lead to a weave.
