    Front End 'Bent out of Shape'

    I dismantled the front end this morning. Pulled each rotor and spun 180 degress - re-torqed rotors then, Bottom tripples, axle nut / pinch bolt, top tripple, Fork Brace, fender.

    It seems to be better. I still notice braking a little. the 70mph vibration has vanished . Switched bikes with my brother today. He said, "didnt even notice the brakes or rear shocks." "Rides good man". The problem is almost at a point that doesn't bother me either. But, I know it can be better. Pads are due on Monday. I hope im not borring anyone. I've noticed people not finishing threads to what exactly fixed the handling issues. Hopefully this will help people in the future. I am very curious as to what combination of things fix the front end vibration problems.

      I had a vibration at high speeds, the first thing was the brakes dragging. The other thing that i noticed that caused vibration is the tire pressure being to high.
