It's much better now, even at low speeds, the 1/2in spacer allows no air needed in forks. The alignment allows equal left and right effort to turn. I feel safer now.

Very slight wobble when shut off the throttle at 100mph or more?

Now if you can just figure out how to get that bike in your signature off the ceiling. :-\\\

When your bike is upside down, riding with no hands is a real feat.
"Look Ma, no hands!" is frequently followed by pain, blood and crying - "Help Ma, help!"

I'll take a new pic, and try to get it right. I'm not the most teck savy guy?
it's right side up in my gallery, but when I load on this forum it flips.
I'll turn my iPad upside down and try again.

Is their a web site that I can change wheel color and get an idea of the look?

Sig pic is flipped. :clap: :encouragement: :clap:
Wheel suggestions:
Stock wheels are a very dark gray. On my black bike, with the black and 'chrome' theme for the engine and the black forks, I went with a gloss black wheel. I have also done this for the other GSes in the stable.

That black do look good! Im thinking that gold stripe color on the first bike fairing , might go with my burgundy? I'd like a little bling, without being too loud?
takes a while to prep and tape them, I don't want to do it but once?
Thanks.

I?ve had a front wheel wobble at speed ever since I put a slipstreamer clear windshield on. If I let go at about 30 mph it will start a light wobble that gets worse.At higher speeds it still shakes and will go to a tank slapper.If I keep my hands on the bars it?s straight as can be without a hint of wobble. Everything is mechanically perfect,alignment spot on. Tire wear even. Take it off and no wobble at any speed. It is handlebar mount with lots of adjustments so I had to measure as I tighten it down. It?s as even and square as possible with measurements equal all around. Been like that for many years and I just make sure I keep my hands on the bars.

Can you adjust the brackets on the windshield to change the angle of the plastic slightly?

Windshield , angle, brackets, I must be drinking way tooo much???
Maybe.
Just a quick search brings up threads like this elsewhere:
"Fitment is excellent and there quite a bit of room for adjustment concerning the angle of the shield. "

OK, lets back up. Thread was started by 81gs7501166 for wobble issues on his fairingless bike. At some point the thread went off the rail with someone mentioning their own wobble issues being caused by his installation of a fairing. At some point it becomes time to start your own thread with your own issues so that responders can deal with one person's issues at a time/per thread. It helps to keep things relevant. Just trying to help.
I think threads can morph. The OP got his answers, so there is no reason someone who was prompted by the thread to chime in with a related question.
You’re right Pilot. My bad. Carry on. I was just trying to clear up 1166’s confusion.
You helped me understand why he was confusticated!

I have had several bikes do that when the steering stem bearings get worn,or loosen a little.You could try and tighten the bearings a little.Don,t over tighten just add a little preload.With the front end off the ground the handlebars should not drop from side to side hitting the stops they should take a little pressure to push them to the stops.If the bars drop to the stops the bearings need more preload.
If the bike goes into a bar wobble when decelerating with no hands on the bars 90% of the time it needs steering head bearings. They are dimpled. I can be felt by raising front wheel off ground and moving bar from side to side. you can feel Dimple/notch in the race. Above mentioned tightening sequence is correct, but I would add, slightly over tighten, back it off then re-tighten until SLIGHT! resistance is felt. I tighten mine every tire change and it feels like getting new bike again. If is over tightened the bike will wander back and forth as it is sticking. A windshield will make a bad bearing feel worse and will not affect a properly set up steering head bearing.
