I read in Greg Fields book, and just had a reminder in the latest =

with a high speed wobble. Since I am new to Guzzis, did anyone ever =
figure out what caused this, and is there any fix? How common was this? =
Also, being as I am getting my Eldo ready for the season, is there =
anyway to tell if my bike is one of the wobblers without getting into =
trouble? Is the wobble similar to a tank slapper, or is it more subtle?
Thanks,
Tim
