Well, I've gotten the bike back. It was pouring down rain and I only got
aggresive with the brakes a couple of times. It looked and felt good. I've held
off reporting until I get some dry pavement and can give things a good running.
The upshot of all of this is that the steering stem adjustment needed another
tightening. We've seen the same thing on one of the 595's also locally.  We did
the rotor run-out and  degree wheel miced and also front tire inspection.
Everything checked out fine. Hopefully this is it. He got another 1/4 turn out
of   the nut. After the ark gets docked, I should have a better report ( all the
rivers in western Washington are either at flood watch or warning). Best
Regards, Steve.
