pulling to the left

[blackdogbrian]

Afternoon Folks,

as some of you may know, I was in a bit of a crash last week. I'm recovering well, and now it's time to start thinking about what to do with the bike. After a long chat with my wife, we've decided that I need to fix it, regardless of what I do (keep or sell), since it's a bit unethical to try and sell a bike with problems.

so from the crash, I need new crashbars/engine guards on the left (front and rear), along with a new saddlebag door latch on the left. If anyone has some extras of these laying around that you'd like to sell please send me a message.

Now as for the underlying issue....
I had a wobble when I went down. I've got some suggestions on another thread on how to handle this.
The main intent of this thread - stearing pull...

I just put on new tires, front and rear, with dyna beads. This seemed to have helped a bit of the low speed shake on the handle bars - but I did notice that I still cant' take my hands off the bars, because the bike wants to turn left.
What are you suggestions on how to address this?

I suspect that I need to look at the stearing head, and greese the bearings (I didn't get a chance to do this before my trip), and possibly replace the bearings. From gadget's site, it seems that this adjustment normally is a bit loose.
Also, I have tried to run a secondary ground between my fairing to the main body/frame of the bike, but I read about that ground link causing some premature reduced lifspan on the bearings.
Considering the bike is now over 75k kms, it might be time for new ones (not sure how previous owner maintained that item).

Are there any other things you would suggest I look to for this item?

Thanks
Brian
