G'day hairgirlct,

Not much good at wrenching either, but have you checked your steering head bearings?

If I were you I would take it to the dealer, you dont want to mess about with front end mechanics, you could wind up on your arse.

Re: 98 roadking steering/wobble

If you got spokes check them for tightness and snug up any loose ones, my 99 roadking had the same problem tell I took off the bald back tire and put on a new 1 but I checked the neck bearings and the spokes and belt and rear tire allignment before I seen the cords showing out of the back tire.
