My 2 cts.
At the advice of Scott and Sonny I had the front tubes serviced and new head bearings installed to try to reduce, if not eliminate, a hands off and high acceleration or sudden decel wobble my R3 had developed. The shocks were toast. The original head bearings were in in good condition. My mechanic opted to change them any way since I had a new set and so much of the front was already disassembled. Probably should let Anthony or one of the Seniors test ride it. It feels good to me.
I wonder how many cumulative miles this pack has on their Rockets. If your bike feels funny or suddenly different... STOP, ask your mechanic, ask The Group. Do something about it. All bikes but, specially the Rocket, are like helicopters. They require constant maintenance, specially if your going to ride it fast.
I'v seen the airline pilots ground check their planes like they are Cessnas. Pre-ride check your bike. I know it sounds like over kill but that's what those in the know say. Perhaps, given we have several pilots in our ranks, we can come up with a realistic but adequate list, like in the airplanes.
I hope you heal well and ride another day.
