death wobble at 115+mph

[gamorg02]

i just noticed i guess not. doing some quick math, that would equate to what a roughly 10mm (to be on the safe side) smaller circumference, right? there def isn't 10mm of room left where the bracket meets.
/QUOTE]

How do you mean 10mm? Old forks were 41mm, new ones are 43mm, that should mean a difference of 2mm, right? Are you talking about the forks bracket?

The other link you found seems to be for the right model, and about $200 too, so that's pretty good. Worth a shot for sure..

sorry thought the old ones were 40mm.

circumference is pi * diameter right? so 40mm x (~3) (for arguments sake) is 120mm

43mm x ~3 is 129mm so 9mm.

however now its more like 5-6mm difference, which i don't think still is available and makes sense there is a different model #

The only thing I don't like about this one is the way it pokes out of the side..

I've seen others (hyperpro?) that live neatly nested between the upper triple tree and the gauges pod. I wonder if the Shindy could be mounted like that?

i personally like the sideways look. there are cheaper dampers online than shindy if u could make the brackets. i think it could be done. it'd need some R&D tho.

I've change my bearings (yamaha), balanced the front tire and changed the fork fluids for some motul... got little better, but still can't go past 125 mph without some wooble. I just stopped trying! usually when I'm trying to stop the bike after reaching high speed the wobble is intense. The whole bike shakes, almols like when a big truck passes by, but the front tire not... i guess it's just bad aerodynamics now

Did you check swing arm bearings? Tires are new?

It's NOT normal!

Make certain sure your back tire is in good shape and BALANCED. I've had 1/2 worn Dunlop Qualifiers on the back cause this, and having it re-balanced or just replaced fixed the problem.

And question: how You were tighted those bearings?
This is very important.

Its not normal.
I've hit 260kmh on v-max and no wobbles.

Check the Morley Muscle section for Seans videos. Theres one with bearings there.
