Little help here, now I know I'm sturring up a bee's nest and there will most likely be varied opinions, but anything would help at this point.
I've got an 08 S, 9K miles. Minor mods, air box drilled, and a set of Power 1's set at the correct pressure from the Michelin vendor. (They are race tires, I know, and I'm aware of there ups and down's on the street, but they work good for me)
Suspension is stock, except I put 8 turns into the pre-load adjusters in the forks, because it was way too soft. That worked well.
I've got a scotts damper that i put on a few weeks ago. It works great, and eliminated the head shake I was experiencing at lower speeds.
Problem- at higher speeds (100+ in a controlled environment) the head shake is still there. If the frame is upset in anyway (Anything, road imperfections, etc) it will wobble. This only happens in big sweepers, but is un-nerving as hell.
I have to turn the damper up all the way to keep it from becoming truly scary, and with it up that far, it really slows down my transistions from side to side.
Any suggestions?
