On my kawasaki vulcan nomad 1600 '08 I get a severe wobble in the steering when decelerating with a very light grip on the handle bars. I just brought it to the local dealer and they looked at a few things and tell me it IS normal. I have went onto several website looking for nomad steering wobble and to my surprise most have this problem and are being told it IS normal. This I am sure has resulted in crashes and possibly death. I do have a video of the problem if you would like to see this "normal occurrence " please help us riders if this was a car that wobbled or shook it would be a problem thanks jim crossen *tr
