“On 06-19-2006 I purchased a new 2006 Honda goldwing(GL1800) and rode it home. The bike has a shake in the front end between 35-50 MPH. The dealer mechanic wants to make repairs but Honda motorcorp says no. The goldwing is supposed to shake according to steve from the tech line. I have researched this problem on the internet and have discovered this is a very common problem.”
