Road Force Balance

Hi Guys,

I'm a new member but have been lurking around for quite some time. Can someone please recommend a place where they are experts at performing a road force balance on the hunter GSP machine? I recently put a new set of tires/rim on my 7 series and I'm getting this shimmy at 55-65mph. It seems like I get it when the tires have warmed up - when they're cold, the shimmy doesn't seem to surface. I've had the road force balance done recently but I don't think they were well versed with the machine.

Thanks for any input!

+1. They are very well versed with the Road Force. I would know because they tried virtually everything possible when they suspected my original I-Forged wheel was bent...just to be certain. Even after I said it was okay and that I'd send it back, they went the extra mile to perform as many tests as possible.
