sometimes your front legs need to be stiff and the fur on your arse vertical.

ohh dear,[why do i feel the need to faff]
it seems after a few road trials i've created a monster,
ok up the the near legal limit shall we say ,try to push beyond and its starts to weave like a ,
shut the throttle no help,
lean over the front no help,
just ease off the power and hope is the only way,
checked tyre pressures,head bearings,
removed big front mudguard no difference,
raised forks through yokes no difference,
took screen off,try tomorrow,

Too much time on your hands, get a mistress.

It does look tall.

no gary [and these are the same forks]
just a small amount of movement from that bike at higher speed easily compensated for,
this is different i cant control it,
im guessing putting all that wind resistance [load] on the forks big screen ans big muffs is the cause,
i will keep altering it till it stops,
yours is fixed to the frame not to the moving parts of the steering,
i may have to make something similar but smaller again,
