Seems like the smaller lighter bikes are more suseptable to this, I have never had this problem on a busa or 14, last time I can remember wobbles, was a GS1100, the newer bikes seem very stable, I am no racer, but at the same time, I am not easy on my bikes either, sometimes I wonder if SOME of those "mechanics" at shops (and I use that word loosely) even balance a new set of tires right ....

He brought the front end up crooked, shit himself, set it down wrong, and reaped the benefits I think. :)) A lot of energy builds up in the frame for various reasons at various times and often when the front wheel is lightened by acceleration that built up energy will release itself through the steering head causing occillations. Hard transitions or hard pulls out of increasing radius corners, bad tar snakes, I find these are the things that the damper helps. For me, I like the look of the GPR unit. Might have to try one!

Yeah. That's the reason I went with the GPR unit. Wanted to keep the clean, uncluttered look up front and most definitely did not want to drill any holes. All reviews of this unit were very good and whilst money wasn't the deciding factor it certainly helped keeping a few more "coin" in my pocket.:)
Cheers
