[QUOTE="AdamK, post: 1374223, member: 29576"] Yes, only with hands off of the bars. Even with one hand lightly on the bars it doesn't seem to start the process of shaking. No changes to the bike. This is an ES model and I've tried single rider, rider with luggage and the two rider positions on preload. So in summary, I've had the bike about 15 months and it has 15,500 miles on it. I'm on my 3rd set of tires. I've never noticed this problem before, but I wasn't really looking for it either. During my last trip to California I hit a rock which I never saw. The next day I had the bike on cruise and put and was flexing/stretching my hands and noticed the wobble. When it really gets going riders behind me see my top box oscillating. When I got home I discovered a bent front rim. I replaced it thinking this was the cause of the head shake. This had no effect. To date I've loosened and re-tightened the front suspension pinch bolts, re-torqued the steering head bearing, installed a new front tire. [/QUOTE]
