    Hi, as said above im having an issue with my dragsters steering. If you let go of the handle bars while traveling at around 30mph the bars wobble side to side. Same if you go around a corner a little to fast they start to wobble side to side. Took it for its mot thinking it would flag something up and it passed and said the steering is one of the cleanest/good condition dragsters for its age? Dont under stand what it could be or what i need to look at/change? Anyone have any ideas thank you

    If it's gone through a MOT without any issues on the bearing and linkages front I would suspect the tyres, are they nicely rounded or when looking at the front does it the arch of the tyre look more like a 50p coin (looking across the tyre left to right)

    Hi checked the tyre and it looks ok. What I have found tho is a 1 inch crack in the front wheel rim? Would this cause the steering wobble? And can it he repaired or should I just buy a new rim if it is the cause?
