Default Road King front end problem

We are on the road to TN and my front wheel bearings went out. Stopped at Tifton HD and they stayed past their closing time to replace them for me. Everything was good until I took both hands off the handlebars. It started to shake so violently I had to grab them before I went down. Could the front tire get hosed from the bad bearing?

When was the last time you adjusted and greased your steering head?

It has been about 10,000 miles. It has gotten worse. We are going to the dealer in Pigeon Forge in the morning. Anybody know an Indy in the neighborhood?

The HD dealer in pidgeon forge is a good group. I broke down there over memorial day weekend and the took effort to fit me in over a very busy weekend.
