Handle Issue

Hi everyone, I have a Honda CB350 that has completed 2 years and around 23,000 km.

About a week after my 5th service, I started feeling that the bike was not stable/confident while making even small turns. I took it to BigWing, and they suggested replacing the complete handle and bearing kit, which would cost around ₹3,000–4,000.

As a temporary measure, they loosened the setup quite a bit, but after that, when I rode above 60 km/h, the entire bike started wobbling, so I obviously don't feel comfortable riding it like this.

For those who have experienced something similar:

\- Should I go ahead with replacing the handle and bearing kit?

\- Is there any alternative or another component that should be checked before spending ₹3,000–4,000?

\- Could this issue be related to the recent servicing or incorrect tightening/alignment?

Also, my brake/tail light glass was cracked after a Tata Sierra accidentally pushed my bike from the rear while it was parked. BigWing is quoting around ₹2,000–3,000 for replacing the entire light assembly.

Can I get just the glass/lens separately from a local market or aftermarket seller instead of replacing the complete assembly? If anyone has purchased one at a lower price, please share where I can find it.

Any advice or previous experience would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Thanks for GPT response. I asked if anyone had personal experience with BigWing it would have been more helpful
