It sounds like there might be some damage to the steering head/bearings and maybe the fork tubes also. Before or after you put your new parts on, I would definately have a dealer look at it. If the front tire came in contact with the radiator, that's a serious problem.

ya i know it messed up a lot it hit so hard about 25 mph the rim hit the rad and actually shorted out the cooling fan or
at least that is my 2 cents .. Q. does that sound like thats why my fan stopped working i hard wired it to 12 v to double
check but just made a funny hum immedatly i unplugged it and ordered a new one.
Q.. where are the stearing head bearings located and whats there function.
