I did not notice...have you checked the steering stabilizer? They do wear out.

Hi Kevin,

No steering stabilizer on the Goldwing.

Problem solved and fixed

It's been a long journey but the problem was FINALLY discovered and fixed. The best clue about what was happening was described in my post #10. The body and motorcycle were unhinging themselves from each other. There were 2 broken attach points on the right side of the trike. One was reinforced and welded and the other was a bracket near the shock absorber that needed to be replaced.

The fix involved removing the body. A thorough inspection reveled another point of future failure with a crack in another bracket. That was also reinforced and welded. We're not sure how all this happened but suspect the worn bushings and Heim joint may have started things to stress and start moving around. While doing this repair I also put new tires on the rear. So now, everything is up to snuff and new. Riding home yesterday it felt like a completely different trike. Everything tight and secure.....

That is good news that it all got resolved.

Now you're all set for our get together in AZ in October! :clapping:
