Warped Wheel?
 \\;My current ride is an 06 Roadking classic. \\; I bought it used with about 5000 miles less than a year ago. I noticed a slight vibration on the front as soon as I had bought it and wrote it off as a poorly balanced wheel. \\; Advance forward, I carried my bike in to the dealer for the 10k, they checked tightness of spokes and adjusted the neck bearings and now the neck bearings have a little more play and the vibration is a lot more noticeable. \\; I carried it yesterday to have a new front tire put on at an Indy \\;(11k) still had at least another 1000 miles left on the tire, and guess what spinning the wheel we noticed that it is warped. \\; There is no visible damage anywhere on the rim, do you think someone ran into a curb? \\; Was it laced wrong? \\;
 \\;
Anyway next week I am going to put a dial indicator on it and attempt to straighten it out. \\; That is unless someone has a stock laced Roadking wheel laying around for a reasonable price. \\; I like the look of a laced wheel, but man they are a pain.
