Well well well...put it up on the jack ran it, and had my wife look at the tire. She said that the tire was tilting at an angle (especially at high speeds), looked it up in the manual, said to adjust the stabilizing link, and I am missing a bolt in the stabilizing link!!

So after I get the bolt and get that set right, the manual says to use an inclinometer to compare the rear brake disk to the front....lol looked up that tool, that's a lot of money!! Do y'all just eye ball it or what? Thanks for all the input and ideas! I like it here, a good group of people

A digital angle gauge is cheap from ebay. You could also use a spirit level on the disc as a cheap alternative. Another thing to check is if the front mount is soaked in oil. If it is it will go soft alow the motor to wobble sideways.

Harbor Freight has some cheap inclinometers. Buy 2 swap them front to back and average the reading to offset tool measuring error.

Well got the bolt, installed, and eye balled, road tested to 95, smith sailing!! Going to remove tank and torque it to spec today to make sure it's solid. Thanks for all the advice!!! I can't believe the shop didn't think to check the stabilizer
