Hears the deal. I have a vibration problem that's focused in the front fork/steerer/handlebar. At first I thought is was handlebar related due to a long wide cafe cruiser bar (electra cruiser stock bar) so I went to a shorter 5-1/2 rise typical bike bar for stiffness and the vibration was so bad I couldn't hold the bar. 5 miles and my hands were in serious pain. So I started doing more testing to try and pinpoint the source/cause of the vibration. I was thinking motor mount related but I can hold onto the top tube at 40mph and its totally fine. Every part of the bike is good. If I place my hand on the fork, stem, or handlebar that seems to be where the energy is being dispersed at. So, how the bloody **** do I fix it?!?! Lol I'm thinking a fork with shocks but I'm also wondering if a triple tree would work. I don't know. All I know is the rest of the bike is cool vibration wise. Oh, and the threaded nut on the steerer is NOT loose. Any ideas as to why the vibrations are focused there and solution to fix it is greatly appreciated.
