Bike Chatter

Hondagofast
Help.  We have a 1978 CB750K that chatters excessively when you get above 30MPH.  Chain tension has been loosed, spoked wheels trued and balanced, new steering or head bearing put in, new tires....Can't find any cracks in frame.  Ride is so rough it's dangerouse.  Honda can't find whats wrong...It's certainly a seasay chatter rather than wobble..  Any ideas, anyone??

Fluid inside your tubes will do that, like water, fix a flat ect.  Fluid will trick a balancer as well, because fluid will disperse differently every time you start and stop.

I have had tires do that also. They get old, and hard, and balancing will not fix it.
