ON MY KAWASAKI VULCAN NOMAD 1600 '08 I GET A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEN DECELERATING WITH A VERY LIGHT GRIP ON THE HANDLE BARS. I JUST BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT A FEW THINGS AND TELL ME IT IS NORMAL. I HAVE WENT ONTO SEVERAL WEBSITE LOOKING FOR NOMAD STEERING WOBBLE AND TO MY SURPRISE MOST HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ARE BEING TOLD IT IS NORMAL. THIS I AM SURE HAS RESULTED IN CRASHES AND POSSIBLY DEATH. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS "NORMAL OCCURRENCE " PLEASE HELP US RIDERS IF THIS WAS A CAR THAT WOBBLED OR SHOOK IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM THANKS JIM CROSSEN *TR
