Had the dreaded head shake/wobble at well over the speed limit. Definitely grabbed my attention. After checking the torque on the neck nut, I was looking at a bit of cash for the solid motor mounts and frame braces. After reading about people's experience with shinko tires and needing New ones I purchased a set. Bike is a 2002 and was completely stock, original brakes and tires. What a difference, the shinko's may have a short life but for $148 for both I don't care. They are super sticky and the head shake has seemed to go away. I never would have thought a worn fire could cause such violence in the bars. Once again the VMax forum to the rescue! Still plan on adding the braces and mounts, just have a little more time to budget it now
