BMW R1200C STEERING BEARINGS

Anyone out there with a 1200C who has experienced steering head bearings loosening up? I have 60K now and either the bearings are getting loose or the damper is not working properly. I get a lot of head shake at slower speeds than I ever have before. Anyone with knowledge or experience with some input would be appreciated.

Preety sure the bearings are worn and want to fall back into the balls nests.
Get them new, adjust well and the behaviour should be as new. But first check for worn wheel bearings too.
R1200C isn't that the one with the strange centre spring? then check for the ball joint if it has gib too.
