To put this as nice as I can, if I had a problem I would not be looking for a patch.
You will travel better fixing it.
Step one, identify, then
Rectify.
Then make it supposedly better with the snake oil.
Some are, some are not.

For me the vibration was gone as soon as I installed the All Balls bearing kit
This bike is the most balanced of any I've ever had. Can go many miles with no hands just using knees and a little lean to steer. Do it just for fun or for something simple like changing from clear to tented glasses or visa versa. Have even put sunscreen on without stopping before. Also a good change up for long trips, try setting on the back seat sometime, it gives the legs a good stretch. Many bikes have a little pull one way or the other but not this F6B. If you are not comfortable doing this then maybe you should not try it but I feel it is no danger other than maybe tire blowing or a deer jumping out in front of you, besides your back in control in nano seconds, some people I know cant even react that fast for anything that needs doing. Ha! Of course you can not have any front end shake so tighten those neck bearings even if a shop has already checked them and said they are torqued correctly, you can't always trust those people..
I have traveled literally thousands of miles no hands.
My old Sportster was Perfect for it.
With Pullbacks, a sleeping bag tied on the sisy bar for a pillow to lean on, and my feet up on the crash bars.
I could lean back and steer with my knees for miles all sorts of comfy.
I do this with my road King too, but the F6...its a little more difficult .
Risky for some I guess is true but certainly not for all. I'm well shy of the record myself. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/09/28/...for-525-miles/
I reiterate willtill's quoit "Vibrations (aka wobble) is almost always attributed to the steering stem bearings". I suggest that you check the tire pressure, for loose triple tree or axle bolts, and that all front end fasteners and the steering stem bearings are at proper torque.
If you are still having front end wobble or head shaking upon deceleration or around 45 MPH I highly recommend the "All Balls" bearing kit http://wingstuff.com/products/21578-...text=all_balls This stering stem bearing upgrade removes the OEM round ball bearings Honda uses in the F6B and GL1800 pre 2018 with a tapered roller bearing system which is an 100% improvement IMHO.
