Hit a pothole..wasnt there before..but shit..its deep, and its there -now-.

Didnt throw me off, but really slammed the forks shut...

I dont see any tire of wheel damage, but I now have a wobble in the front if I let go at about 30mph, and it will intensify quickly if I let it.

Hands on, I feel _nothing_ at all.

Cant feel a loose bearing, or head bearing with the front end off the ground...where should I look?

MAYBE the tire is compromised inside where i cant see it, but im trading in in 3 weeks, and dont wanna put $ into this...

Shit.

I had a 2010 Honda Silver Wing n i hit a pot hole in it damaged BOTH rims n bent the
front forks. N broke my windscreen. That was about 8 yrs ago. A guy in a car cut me
off in the left fast lane. i went around him n there that pot hole was waiting for me.
IF you live in a BIG city you can probably get a claim against the city cuz the potholes
damaged your RIDE. I did NOT know about it til weeks later on the news. The city
would hve fixed or totaled my Honda Silerwing . But i was able to ride it even tho
the or n handlebars were effed up along with the rims
