take off your wheel and roll it. if it wobbles then your balance is off. i know you just got it balanced, but most of the time they won't balance it correctly. Did you buy good tires? or something cheap? it makes matters. michellin tires are by far the smoothest tires i've ever ridden on.

I have definitely been dealing w/ these same issues myself for the past couple of months. Had new tires installed and balanced. Had alignment done. Ceramic brakes replaced. And, All I got was the shakes at around 60mph only. Above or below that mph it'd ride fine. I'll definitely look into replacing alot of the issues mentioned in previous posts. Driving me nuts! lol

I bought BFG Super Sports and had them balances 3 times. The other day I was driving around 85-90ish in 5th gear and downshifted to 4th and all of a sudden the shaking happened....

Wonder if it could be Trans or Diff mounts, driveshaft or wheel bearing???

Im sick of this....tooooo long!!

Looks like I need to get a replacement
