Consumer Description

THE FRONT WHEEL OF MY HONDA VTX 1300 HAS A MAJOR WOBBLE WHEN I RUN 40 TO 50 MPH. A WHILE BACK (6 OR 7 MONTHS AGO) I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN I BROUGHT IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE BIKE WAS NOT MADE TO RIDE WITH NO HANDS. END OF STORY. THE REASON WHY I WAITED SO LONG IS UNTIL NOW I DID NOT KNOW WHO TO TURN TO. RECENTLY I WAS READING ON A WEB SITE JUST FOR HONDA VTX CRUISERS THAT I WAS NOT ALONE BY A LONG SHOT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WERE TO GO SO I AM LOOKING TO FOR AN ANSWER FROM YOU INSTEAD OF THE ONE THE DEALER GAVE ME. PS. THE DATE I GAVE BELOW WAS ONLY TO PROCEED. I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE WOBBLE. *JB
