[QUOTE="FJRay, post: 1401452, member: 312"] Some of you that were at CFR or Spearfish might recall I was fighting front end problems with my Wing. Put a new tire on in Canada but no joy. Tore it down at Big Johns house and bearings both wheel and steering felt good and the rotors had less than .005 run out so I put it back together and rode it home. At home I replaced steering head bearings ( a real pain in the ass on a wing) along with wheel bearings just for grins. Seemed to be fixed until we rode it two up and it still has a low speed wobble 20-30 mph but only turning left. Turning right I don't feel it. I torqued the steering head to 22 ft lbs which is supposed to be the sweet spot for a wing. wheel balance is spot on and wouldn't be a factor at low speed. Rear tire is darkside and looks fine Any wild ass guess would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
