Hi Dogs. Apologies if this was covered already. I searched this section but did not get any info. I have a shake on the handlebars between 75 to 80 kph. Below and above it is stable. I have already changed the head bearings. I also have a fairly new Anakee 3 front tyre. It is at its worst when slowing down and the speed drops to between 75 and 80. It feels like a tank slapper starting. I have double checked the head bearing torque as per the workshop manual and material on this site. I will have the front wheel balanced but I think it is not going to help. I have just upgraded the front  fork springs to Wilbers and this made the problem worse. (Was good excuse to upgrade  :laughing4:). I will look if the rim is not running true when balancing the front wheel.  Any ideas?

Alex
