I would agree with front tyre issues, and would look for any sign of uneven wear. Tyre profile is also a possible area to look at I would _not_ be reducing...
Bryan I agree with you. After about 500,000 miles riding bikes it appears to me that the slow speed wobble can be traced to loose head stem bearing and to low...

Mark, I just looked at my 82 and yes you are right 2 wires plus ground on the front 1 on the back plus ground. This explains the difference in the bulb as the...
Pete:  Thanks for confirming what I thought. Now my last question is can the front be modified to act as a rear turn signal. I bought a pair of what were...
