I decided to get the bike ready for the spring riding season. I had a slight wobble in the front end at low speeds which appears to be the steering head bearings.
Honda puts flat bearings in the GL-1800 and they wear causing a wobble to start between 12,000 and 20, 000 miles. Mine has 17,000 + on it.
I dropped it off for a bearing change at Fairfield Honda last week and they are going to put tapered bearings in and we should never have a problem again.
They're changing out the air filter and prepping the bike for spring so i'm looking forward to getting it back and warmer weather.
We have some good rides planned for this summer such as a possible trip to Florida to see my dad, Kansas, the Outer banks of North Carolina, Deals Gap, and a lot of day rides to parts unknown.
Come on SPRING!
