Front end shake?
My 05 883C with 12K miles has started to get a shake in the front end, but only when i let go of the handlebars. I dont notice any difference in handling when my hands even one hand is on the bar. Im wondering if the rim might be bench a little bit?

Did you put a new tire on it... loose a weight off the wheel... axle bolts tight???
I think I'd find out what it is... gotta know that's not a good thing... lol

My first thought was also the tire. If it's the original tire, could have some significant and/or uneven wear going on.

That needs attention quick. Could be the rim is not true.
