Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a complaint on the steering of my motorcycle 2004 vtx 1300 s. it wobbles at a 40-45 mph speed. it wasn't noticeable between my first 1,000 miles. after that it has been very noticeable and during my every day commute lots of lights, stop and go, it is a constant issue. i signed up on a motorcycle forum in the internet and i will say that 85-90% of this motorcycle owners have experience the same wobble. some have corrected the problem by replacing the bearings with the higher cc sister motorcycle from honda the 1800cc. this is something that the dealership does not acknowledge because honda does not want to acknowledge the issue. i guess we need to have a fatality before they do. *jb
