Check your pressure. But one of the rims could not be true. Or be bent.

You'll have to check them all and then if you find a bad one you could try putting it in a different spot.

If the air is good or no change after adjusting pressure I'd have the balance of the wheels double checked. Keep in mind that most shops only balance to 60mph so an imbalance at speeds faster than that may not be detected by their equipment.

Maybe dont do 80mph?

There isnt a legal street or highway in the USA that posts an 80+ speed limit!

The highest speed limit of 75mph That I know of is in South Dakota....(bike week sturgis)

Better to be safe than sorry...

Thats exactly why the computer balanceing is only good up 60...
Unless you live in south dakota...and if they use the old school balancer...
That balances rim,tires, and brake drums at the sametime....(But i doubt it)

Colorado also has 75 MPH speed limits. And another western state, Texas is suppose to open a new stretch of highway - all new road for 500 miles with 80 mph. Was noted in the New York times . Was suppose to open September 1st if I remember correctly - Fort Hancock Texas..
