Ok I'm at my wits end with this vibration in the front suspension. All bearings are good and I put new Chrome shocks on yesterday and its still there. The front tire was a little low (5 lbs) so I filled it to 33 lbs. The tire is a year old andooks great and this vibration just started last week. What am I missing in this simplistic setup?
When I take 1 hand off the grip @ 30 mph it shakes bad when hold both grips I can feel it but its not that bad.
I'm going crazy trying to find out what's wrong.

Balance weight fell off? With tire that low it must have a hole in it too. Just putting air in it is just treating the symptoms, why was it so low?  . |

No wheel weight on my chrome wheels. In 5 yrs i have never balanced my tires and never had a vibration because of it. Tires where low since they where bought in march of 2011 and i have never checked them. Im going to replace the bearings in the morning and re-tighten everything...again.
