Yeah, if I tried that, front end wobble would be the least of my problems.... ;D

If I did that I could pretty much bet that front end would "accidentally-on-purpose" come off at 60mph or so!

I talked with a shop about this same problem today.  Looks like we'll be replacing the bearings.

;)  yup bought one of them, but one too small so need to up grade to a larger one.

Thought you bought yours for your training wheels.....

Your right there CDRatMan, that's why after I saw that tire I invested in a rollstand that I could drive on and spin the wheel.

  And with the fancy skirts it is sometimes hard to see the tires and any wear on them so helps to really take the time and look at them careful.

Come to think of it, when I bought my 1500 I would get a really bad wobble @ around 45 mph. It was the rear tire for sure, almost like driving on a flat but all over the place. The bike shop I went to have new tires put on couldn't believe I drove it in. Can't emphasize it enough to check your ride!

What causes the wobble?  Is it axial runout, as opposed to radial runout?. . . . . . Or something else?

Tire pressure, good, bearings feel good no rotor drag, head bearings feel ok, going to do some more digging this winter. Thinking it might be the rear tire separating.

I had the issue you mentioned, riding one-handed, it would wobble weird...but when it started doing a very dangerous wobble on the interstate at high speeds...that's when i decided no more...I had the bearings changed---problem solved... ;D

I did that once and it went into a major wobble ....It scared the hell out of me and that'll never be done again.
