Just got the GS1000 back on the road. Have noticed a lot of shake in the handlebars when cruising, you have to keep a tight grip. The bike has had recent new progressive springs and head race bearings any ideas anyone

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
First things first, tire pressure ok?
Wheels for out of round and balance, steering stem too tight, rear wheel cocked in swingarm.

so basically everything
Yes. My (highly modified) CB350 started shaking it's head. Badly. Could not let go of the handle bars. The Honda man said swing arm bushings. I said, "No, it's the front." He repeated, "Swing arm bushings."
He was right.
Yep. Wobble issues are almost always caused by problems at the rear.
Rule of thumb from what I remember is that generally a fast head shake is caused by a front suspension/bearing issue while and a slow shake or like a weave or wobble is caused by rear suspension/shock/swing arm issues. Someone mentioned head bearings possibly too tight but too loose is also a common problem. Make sure if the front is raised off the ground the bars don't fall to one side or other on their own. There has to be just a bit of drag on the bearings if torqued properly.
