Hello All,
I recently sold my beloved R69US and bought a 68 R60 with an Earles Fork. I'm not familiar with these frontends and need feedback as to what my problem is..
I had a bad case of 'tank slap' (Very scary) not long after I got the bike and replaced the steering head bearings with updated tapered roller bearings. But the bike felt like it was riding on marbles, so I loosened up on the bearings and now it has a different feel... It doesn't want to lean into a turn and it feels like the front wheel is 'tuked' under the bars a bit too far.
Is it possible to get the forks out of alignment on an Earles frontend? Visibly, I don't see how... but that is what it feels like.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dewayne
