Hello, all.

I ended up pulling the front tire and reinstalling the OEM Dunlop. Zero shake now.

The tire just went back last week, so MC Superstore hasn't even received it yet. Not sure how they are going to handle things. Hoping for the best.

I ruled out messing with the bearings. What I thought was a flat spot based on some earlier posts ended up being a red herring. Nothing wrong with the bearings at all. Not to mention, the shop I bring my bike to told me it was going to be a 4 hour job. I decided to keep the money in my pocket.

I still have to admit, even with the shakes, I really liked the way the tire felt connected to the road.
