2005 HONDA GL1800 I HAVE HAD A FRONT STEERING WOBBLE SINCE NEW. THE FRONT TIRE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT MAY HAVE CORRECTED 50% BUT STILL HAVE A FRONT WOBBLE, ESPECIALLY AROUND 40 MPH. THE DEALER SAYS ITS JUST BUILT INTO THE BIKE. FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE INSTILLED TAPER ROLLER BEARINGS AND THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE A WOBBLE PROBLEM. JUST VISIT SOME GOLDWING WEB BOARDS AND YOU CAN SEE HOW BAD THE PROBLEM REALLY IS. *JB
