DOES ANY BODY ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT FORKS GOING INTO A BAD SHIMMY AT HIGH SPEED?

never had that happen-might want to check the front wheel for loose laces or have the wheel balanced

THANKS, NEVER KNEW YOU COULD BALANCE THEM, OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, WHERE CAN YOU GET THAT DONE, IF YOU WOULDNT MIND ANSWERING THAT. EITHER HERE OR CHAPMANBATMAN@hotmail.com. thanks,

most any quality shop should be able to check the wheel for trueness - they have little weights that can be put on the laces to balance the wheel ,but if the laces are loose they can be fixed-if the rim is bent for some reason the its replacement time

just find the best shop in your area and have it checked-and don't ride it till then - a bad front wheel is not too cool!
