What are the Symptoms of Incorrectly Adjusted Steering Head?

[RibEye]

I'm definately not as experienced as the guys who have responded so far but can offer that on my dyna I had a loose neck bearing and the symptom was a very noticable "POP" when I was breaking into a stop sign or stop light. Could even feel it in my hands when I heard the "pop". I took it to the dealership and they adjusted the fall away and I have not had the problem since........do you ever feel a pop or clunk when breaking?

No pop. Just a swimmy hint of instability. It doesn't seem to matter what speed I'm travelling.

Just an update on the issue. My theory was that if the steering head as loose, as I suspected, if I removed my Woody's fairing, the problem should become less. First I checked for looseness in the front and rear motor mounts, as well as loose rear axle. All is well.

I removed the fairing and the problem did reduce significantly. I then went through the steering head adjustment, and found it looser than spec. Set it to spec and the problem is cleared up. Thanks for all the input.
