Bumping this as I think it pertains to my problem, possiby?

Pete H wrote: "If you're Silver Wing is over 2 years old and no matter what you do it still has a persistent wobble at 25-35 mph then the teeth in your rear wheel that hold the rear wheel to the drive spline are rusted out. When you bolt a rear wheel with rusted out teeth to your Silver Wing the wheel will bolt on lopsided and cause a wobble at 25-35 mph. The naked eye can not tell the difference so if you suspect that your rear wheel is bolted on lopsided then put your Silver Wing on the center stand stand then rev it up. If the rear wheel bounces up and down at high speeds then that means that it is bolted on lopsided and it is the sole cause of your wobble. The only thing you can do buy a new rear wheel for $418."
My wing has something, not quite like the wobble discussed by most on the coast-down with no hands. Mine is more evident at lower speeds, but still noticeable at higher speeds. It is not very fast, like a "shimmy", but slower, and feels more like the center of gravity of my scoot keeps shifting and I constantly have to correct for it, say every second, or second-and-a-half.
Could this problem with the rear wheel rust causing the wheel to not be bolted on straight be the culprit? Or does anyone else have any ideas?
(Remember, my scoot is rebuilt from a front end collision. Frame was bent straight back, and straightened back out, almost to original specs, but not quite. I was told by the seller that there was no sideways distortion.)

OK. Finally got time to tear down the silverwing and replaced the bent steering stem and stem bearings. Installed the new hyperpro springs, while I was at it. Wow! My silverwing rides like new! No more wobble!

Doug: Sounds like a pretty big job. Can you amplify on what it entailed?

Not me Ted, twas the original poster who carried out the work.

Comes from reading too fast. How about it Swingrider64?

Ted,
I purchased my silverwing used a few months ago (cheap). It had been wrecked and rebuilt. When I first bought it, I thought the slight wobble I felt (mostly at lower speeds) was due to my not having ridden in about 20 years. Later found out that the steering stem had been bent back and attempted to be straightened. It still had some bend to it, and I noticed slack in the steering bearings. I attempted to tighten the bearings, but couldn't get all the slack out. Long story short, I ordered a new steering stem and bearings, and the hyperpro springs as well. (My front end felt soft and would bottom out on any serious bump or dip).
The job was fairly involved, as I had to remove the front cover (headlight section) as well as several other pieces of tupperware just to get to it. Then I removed the front wheel and front forks. Then the steering stem and bearings. Replaced in reverse order, and back on the road again!
I meant to take pictures, both for posting on the forum, and as an aid to my being able to reassemble correctly, but I left my camera at our apartment. Sorry!
Oh, one advantage of changing the steering stem out was that I could use the old one to clamp in my bench vice and then reinstall the fork tubes into the fork clamps to hold them still for me! (Think I'll keep that part around, in case I ever change my springs again!)
Thanks,
Tracy
