I'm hoping someone can give me an idea what's going on here, I've been searching for a while and come up with nothing.
So I just got my chop running and have back making some trips around town and down the road testing out various things before I trust it on a longer run. Well I noticed a few days ago that after maybe 8-10 miles the frontend seems to vibrate a lot more and it feels like I'm going over a bunch of small bumps. At first I thought it was my front tire since it wasn't balanced and as it heated up maybe it was warping slightly. I took it in, got it balanced and it barely needed it, only took one weight. I threw it back on the bike and took another run, same thing.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on here? Someone suggested it could simply be a problem with the fork oil level or weight as it heats up. The lowers are shaved and I have no front brake atm, but I have another stock set of lowers that I'm going to clean up so I can mount a disc and also lower them 2" so I'm going to be tearing into them anyway soon, just hoping to get some insight into what I should be looking for.
