Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I currently own a 2005 honda goldwing motorcycle purchased new in may of 2005. the problem i have experienced is with regard to unusual tire wear (cupping) around the 8000 mile point. in addition to the abnormal tire wear is a low speed wobbling (shimmy). i feel this is a safety issue that the manufacturer is unwilling to reconcile. it involves bearings that are currently installed oem. the correction can be fixed for approximately $270, labor and parts, but the cost must be born by the owner. i feel this should be a recall issue. i replaced the tires and installed a product called the "super brace" and have arranged for the replacement of the bearings which will be tapered. these new bearing can be torqued to tighten and prevent any future shimmy effect. *nm
