Results for Tapered Stem Bearings
Update:
I have ridden about 500 miles, since completion.
I installed the All Balls Tapered stem bearings, but at the same time I also installed the kuryakyn Fork Brace.
Both of those were a MAJOR FIX, not just an Improvement, but a Fix for the dreaded wobble.
My bike was so bad before, that steering every time i came to a stop it seemed like a controlled crash,
I felt like my bike started steering from right to left as i was lowing down, this caused me to counter steer, to try to keep the bike straight.:22yikes:
Bike would also start shaking, bad enough to make, my less then fun but more of a chore to ride.
All that BS is GONE.
My bike feels like it is very tight, solid, precision, in the way it steers now, ran it up to about 90mph VERRY Smooth
Big difference is Before I must have been steering a little a head of the turn & when i needed to(this is the only way I can describe it) I am not sure if that was from the forks flexing or the stem bearings.
But Now I had to retrain my brain to ride the bike again and turn a little later, because it turns with PRECISION!!!!!!!!!! NOW.
It is not twitchy in any way, just tight & precision
At higher speeds, 65mph, I can move the handle bars back and fourth about a 1/2"-1", and the bike is like super precise, the way it should have been from the factory
before I could do the same thing at 65mph steer about a 1/2"-1" and the wheel would go straight there was that much slop in the steering.
But I also changed out my front & rear Springs to progressive springs
