Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The honda vtx 1300 has a front end steering wobble upon deceleration, 45-30 which can be fixed with tapered bearings that are used in the vtx 1800. honda refuses to admit to the problem. my front end shakes a lot because of this. i only have 7,000 miles on the bike ,and there is no doubt in my mind this is a safety hazard. i do not take my hands off of the bars and it still shakes, and it is getting worse every day. please look into this problem. it is a design flaw by honda and they should be made to recall and fix this problem....please. *jb
