88 GL1500 Wheel up I can move fork back and forth and feel small knock.

Could tightening bearing nut fix? At right torqe of course.

When I got to the bearing nut it was less than hand tight.
I hand tightened it and the knock went away. I pulled the upper bearings out and the bearings and race look good to the eye. I have to get a tightening tool, but Im thinking I torque it down and see how it goes. Does that sound dumb? The bearing nut,lock washer and lock nut were tight against each other but hand tight, whats up with that?
Thanks for the feedback, guyes.

Im looking at the forum How-to, how tight do you make the lock nut? And putting that harness back together with out lengthening it looks impossible.
