Do you feel it in the bars or in your *** I had the opposite problem and I felt it in the bars in a curve I suspected wheel bearings that I just changed the other night and haven't ridden it yet

Been travelling on business and have not had a chance to work on her. Hopefully I will have an answer for everyone this week.

Have checked front end for any play, front wheel and rotor for any signs of a warp, the caliper is centered on the rotor. Everything checks out good.

Have also checked the rear wheel to make sure it is aligned and everything is tight and straight.

Anyone else have an issue like this or know of someone that has a similar issue?
Shock absorbers ok? I had bad shocks that were vibrating me to death. Air in them made them a tiny bit better but as speed increased vibes increased real bad. And it got that way slowly, hard to realize it was getting worse as time went on until one day it was just not fun to ride anymore. It got better if I pumped the shocks before riding. Replaced the shocks, now bike rides like new. So confy it feels like riding a Lazy-Boy.

Default R u ok?

I've been checking in now and again to see what your final outcome was going to be - BUT - now I'm just hoping that you made it thru Irma OK! We really got lucky down here and got nothing more than a really good blow job. Lots of palm frons and an occasional downed tree, not even a power outage where I live! WOW! Hoping you got the same!!
