ok about a month ago i laid the bike down and caused extensive damage to my front suspension. i have since replaced everthing forks, upper and lower tripple tree, both tires, you can see where i m going with this. when i mounted the tires the and had them ballanced i did not need any weights. i had someone ride next to me to see if my rims were bent or something like that. but at about 120 i feel a vibration through the bike and i do not want to go faster for fear of crashing. the shop said they did a bubble ballance should i try a spin ballance. right now it keeps my speed down and i am not really concerned with that but i do not want my tires to cup or wear funny. i have the dunlop 208 qualifer for front and rear. I work on cars for a living and it feels like a tire but i am not experianced with the motorcycle. any help or input for things i could do i would be thankful. I have a scotts steering dampner getting ready to go on but i dont think it will help

I use balancing beads when I get the tires replaced. The just put these little beads in there and spin the tire like mad and they automatically go where they need them. Atleast thats when I got from what the dealer was telling me. They work great.

If anything else, i would say that your suspension might need adjusted in the front because if its to hard, at high speeds the front end will bounce as its hitting every little bump and crack in the road.
