    1988 GL1500 handlebar wobble at 35 mph.

    Took my hands of the bars at 35 and immediately got a severe wobble, the kind where you quickly put a death grip back on the bars. Smooth roads, good tires, proper inflation, only load was me, etc. Time to check the stem bearings? Any thoughts on best way to check? Thanks

    Harbor Freight is carrying the small utility trailer again

    $289 USD. You can buy this trailer, replace the steel beams with aluminum 2" angle and have a bare trailer that weighs 110 lbs. I used this to build my Teardrop 2 camper and wound up at 400 lbs total. Just saying.

    Taillight indicator stays red after installing LED taillight

    86 Aspencade converted to trike and pulling a trailer, so a taillight/turn signal converter is used. Changing to LEDs on the rear to improve visibility and lessen current draw. Now the taillight indicator stays red and the turn signals flash very quick like a bulb is out. I know the cure is...
