Consumer Description

MY 2004 HONDA VTX 1300C HAS A BAD VIBRATION WHEN DECELERATING FROM 50 TO 40 MPH. SEVERAL TIME THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO VIBRATION DURING A CURVE. ACCORDING TO MY REPAIR GUY THIS IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN IN THE STEERING BEARING IN THE TRIPLE TREE ON THE 1300S. APPARENTLY THE BEARING USED IN THE TRIPLE TREE IS NOT THE SAME ONE USED ON THE VTX1800 MODEL WHICH HE SAYS IS A GOOD ONE. *TR
