HEY WINGERS , I have a question on the steering head of my gl1200I, i have been rideing this limo for two years now , it is the first wing for me , what i am asking is should you ne able to let go of the bars with both hands and have the bike ride straight mine will not, it will head off to no mans land right quick, i had never thought much of it just keep hold of the bars , but a buddy of mine bought an 87 aspy on my recommedation and he has really gotten on me saying the bike is junk cause he can not ride with out holding the bars with both hands , myself i always keep at least one hand on the bars just makes sense to me , but if not can i tighten the steering head up so he can let go of them and ride , thanks for any help dave t.

Well guys i did do a very close check on my gl1200Ias to what my and my buddys problem was i did not have the issue that he does but my bike drifted a lot which was not good or comfortable for me when rideing as i always had a death grip on her to make sure she stayed where i wanted her . But i cured her problem yesterday with new metzler me880s and what a different bike , my donlap 491e were far from wore out, so i have kept them for later use or resale , but the new tires are great the bike rides like a new one and like it is stuck to the road on turns and rides straight as an arrow, now to go wear them out have a good ride and always keep her in the wind . dave t
