Rode 15 miles today, lots of potholes and bumps. So far no shake. Shows to be in mid 80's tomorrow with sun. will go for a 50 mile or so ride.
Glad to hear . Did you loosen up the axle and pinch bolt and re-tighten after installing the brace / inserts ? Chances are the axle was tightened without the brace being sturdy and a metal to metal connection. Let me know how your 50 or so mile ride goes tomorrow. Should feel 100% better now. Been busy here in the shop, I will have 10 -1200 sockets done in a week, and may make some inserts have in house.

Still had the front wheel off. Mounted the fender, then mounted the wheel. After getting everything back on. Torqued everything down, then tightened the Pinch bolt down. It did way better and I hit a lot of holes. But thinking the forks may be low on fluid. Going to drain them, and fill back up with fluid. Then see how that goes.
Did not get to ride today. It was after 5pm when I got done with the KW T600. But finished most of it up today. Still have to put the new shocks on it. Then the shop is going to remove the oil pan soon. Check the rods and main bearings. If it needs a rebuild, it will get that. Then be closer to being on the road.
Now to get everyone over this stinking Virus. To get back to normal again.
