Help with vibration

[kmartin]

I have a ‘05 chopper with new fork tubes, seals, tire and bearings. I have a vibration in from wheel that does t go away until over 75-80. I put 1 ounce of beads in tire, do I need more? Just trying to get this thing a little smoother at slower speeds when I’m riding with people. Looking for some suggestions from the experts out there that have maybe dealt with this before. Thanks folks

Check the stem bolt. Had one loosen up and ruined a front tire. It was a weird repeating vibration @ 55. Possible neck bearings if ya havent checked them? Ounce of beads is about right.

This is a longshot but, did they mount the front tire backwards? Ive had it happen to me is the only reason I ask. Check the directional arrow on the tire.

Sounds like defect / imbalanced rim/front wheel?
some shit happens with dismount / mounting Bearings?
check the rim with wheelbalancer.

Put another ounce in it, 2 in front and 3 in the back.
