You hit the roller bearings squarely on the head with this one Fred:-) It took
two sharp jolts (and dealer tightening immediately after each), one in NY and
one in MO, to finally get all the parts seated where they belong. Funny thing,
even though each time the whole steering assembly was loose I could ride it at
speed and it didn't feel any different. Only noticed it when I stopped and the
handlebars kept going forward for a bit:-)
