Hi Simon,
They do look similar, but I guess there's only so many ways you can take a great photo of a CB750 - if I had been on a covert photo raid wouldn't it have looked like this.....  ;D ;D Edit: I think you need to click on the image to get the effect I was after?  ;)  ::)

Ah! You were trying to take a covert pic of yourself!  ;D

K2: I have roller bearings in the head. Would the same happen with those?

Thing is, the bike was running perfectly; I’d just completed a 5,000km ride with no issues. Then I changed the shocks and springs, didn’t have a chance to do a test run before heading off on the 2nd leg, and experienced the wobble 200m from home. I went a bit further to see what would happen and once speed increased, the wobble disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. So I went on and lived with it for a further 20,000km.

I took it for a short spin yesterday having replaced the seals, cleaned and rebuilt the forks. The wobble seems to have gone, although previously it was only really bad when the bike was fully loaded. The fact that the tyre pressures were less than 20 psi – the bike has been sitting for a while – didn’t help with the assessment. I’ll be trying again once the rain stops.
