Tank slapper bent my rear brake lever
#27
New tires are on and I feel like I'm tip-toeing through traffic instead of dragging my feet across the pavement.

On the way to my local stealership I set the stage for a quick experiment. I let go of the bars (at a safe moment) and felt a very slight wobble in the front. Grab the bars and wobble goes away. Similar to something I felt awhile back that I attributed to local road conditions. I repeated the experiment with new tires and as I'm sure you've guessed, no wobble.

i have no doubt that the front tire was the origin of the instability....but I still don't know what was the catalyst for violent wobble.
