I have been reading for a bit, seems there are some savvy folks on this board. I had an 87 1200 Aspy that I sold to move up one size, I'm still debating weather I did the right thing.
This bike is smooth as silk up to about 75MPH aside from wanting to travel every, and I mean every groove in the road, then at 80MPH the front end starts to shake, at 85 feels like it wants to rattle apart.
Where would one start on this issue. I have read about steering head bearings, wheel bearings etc however seems either one of those would appear long before 80mph.
I love the bike althoughthe handling is atrocious when compared to the 1200 I just sold. I have such far added the super brace, have the progressive springs on the bench and not installed yet, the front tireis a Dunlop 491 I think it says, not sure about the back. I had the Dunlops Elite III's on the 1200 and loved it, however now there are those that don't like them on the 1500's
Any input or thoughts are appreciated
