Got the spree on the road for a few miles today. My tires are inflated properly before you ask. Tried moving my legs in for a more comfy ride in the cold wind and the front wheel started whipping back and forth super fast!, I d*** near lost it and ate king road at 30MPH. Is this normal or what?

I would check the tension on the fork neck.
Also check for bent rim or out of balance tire. ( could be internal)
Let us know what you find.

Dont think its the tire, the front is the stock 1986 as far as I know and has never been touched (yea, i know I should at least get a new tube but i dont got the cash right now). Will go check my rim tomorrow.

Your doin way to many plug chops!

There is no way to over plug chop something

I have a severe OCD when it comes to tuning stuff, if im gonna play with it its gonna end up perfect goddammit!

My rims and tires are fine BTW, I guess it was just a freak occurrence or maybe I ran over a crack i didnt notice and over corrected without realizing what I did.

Hehe made a new turn signal mount to replace the busted one, now I just need to go to my local popo station and get it approved.

Your right, you always want to measure twice and cut once.
An old carpenters rule of thumb.

Why do the cops got to approve it?

Its not in the system, I need to have it inspected by the cops to get it registered. I dont think thew turn signal hanging from its wiring would pass.

oh your hole moped!
i thought you meant your turning signals. I was like "why would cops have to aprove your turning signals??? " lol. Ok yeah, i get what you are saying.
