Consumer Description

SEVERE WOBBLE STARTED AT ONLY 6000 MILES ON THE BIKE! IT HITS AT AROUND 40 MPH; IT IS SO BAD THAT THE HANDLEBARS WILL 'HOP' BACK AND FORTH AND THE BIKE WILL SHAKE. THE STOCK STEERING BEARINGS ARE FAULTY YET HONDA CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND WILL ONLY REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER STOCK BEARING. THIS IS A KNOWN MAJOR ISSUE AMONG VTX OWNERS. *TR
