[QUOTE="G Squared, post: 1198433, member: 87665"] How are the main steering head bearings?? If they are the factory units, there could be slack in them enough to cause things that can't be adjusted out. My '14 developed enough movement before 2000 miles to drive me bonkers. Had them replaced with tapered roller bearings. Front end feels proper now. Factory ball bearings can inflict a "motion" into front that will turn into a pattern that will show itself even on tire wear. Happens on gold wings also. Hard to describe and put into words, I'm not a tech. but I know my bike and work with some great techs. [/QUOTE]
