This is virtually always from cupped tires. It's not always easy to see the cupping unless you examine the tires closely, but I would do exactly that; because if it's not just cupping it could be from delamination. If so, you'd see a "bubble" or lump somewhere on the tire.

Not something you want to ride on.

Anyway, if you've been running around with just 32~36 psi or less in the tire, and it's got at least 3000 miles on it, it's pretty much guaranteed that it's cupped. You will notice it most on rough roads, crowned roads, or while cornering.

We were out yesterday and I just had to yell to her how I am continually impressed at how smooth the bike rides. I just need to figure out what it causing the heavy vibration and noise coming from the front end at times. It is odd and doesn't always do it, so hard to nail down. Tires dont look bad but I am just about ready to replace them as I suspect they are the source. ??? Really thinking about doing the holesaw bafflectomy on the pipes too. What is the concencus on the drill size? I see 2" and 1-3/4"?

Yea I say the same thing about the NOMAD each time I ride it.. and I LOVE riding the Sabre MORE now that I have the Nad, When I use the Sabre I just ZIP all over NO EFFORT,, The NOMAD take alittle more ,, I installed my Modded mufflers and ALL i can say is THATS what the bike should sound like NICE RUMBLE...Still have the Cat in place,we were riding all day....as far as the hole saw I think all say use the 1 3/4" It should be on GADGETs page,, and SEVERAL NEW post on here...Im going to try and see if I can slip on a Chrome exhaust pipe extension on the inner pipe.. ALSO I put on the DRIFTER BREAK Pedal,, LOVE the extra 1 1/2 move forward.. AND BEFORE you BUY any goodies,, LET me KNOW .I have a lady who gives US 20% over deaaler cost. Rich andfor the WEIRD noise what Cad said probly Cupped tires, COMMON with the Low pressure,,,,,,
