Full disclosure R18B with Hannigans Sidecar developed wobble in front wheel in the last year.
Hannigans says checks steering head nuts for proper torque. Bike gradually developed this issue and I wondered if I needed shock from front wheel to sidecar, like my two Urals and R1200CLC/hannigans required but needed to talk to those who may have personally experienced issues. Hanniagans also says several of the R18's they have installed sidecars on developed this issue. Some required the shock and some just nut tightening.

I found a disassembly to put a TFT screen protector on this site (thank you) and downloaded but it does not go the rest of the way to take TFT out to access steering head nuts. Just don't want to go five hours deep in nuts and clips to find out I have another 5 hours to go.

Thanks - Randy
