I have one of those Hyperpro dampers on my 98 Ti BB but still get a bit of headshake sometimes when no hands and decelerating from 90 odd kph but then the front Dunlop 208 is basically fucked and cupped badly :icon_doh: - going to get a Mich P/ Power very soon , Btw also have a Nonfango topbox which obviously does not help whith the headshake thing :icon_nono:

Maybe Hugh Grant can give you the number of "Divine Brown" :icon_shifty:

Got a tape measure? :icon_duh:

Yeah we got shit loads here in Western Australia - just go down to Trigg Beach

Ditto no swapping the suspension over - If you haven't sold the old one that is!

Just found something on http://www.superblackbird.com/lbs.cfm that I thought was interesting - it was stated that on the linked brake system there is something called a delay valve in the rear braking system that supposedly when you apply the foot brake, gently applies pressure to the left front caliper first and then as pedal pressure increases it then starts to apply pressure to the right front caliper. Maybe this is why the left pads wear quicker than the right?.

I have just got a 98 Blackbird with 32 000 km's on her and mine seems to do the same thing at around 85 kmh ( just a slight shimmy on coast )and I am thinking it may be the front tyre as you say - I have a Dunlop 208 Sportmax front and a Michelin Pilot Road rear, the rear is ok but the front is nearly worn out and I will replace with a Pilot Power as all the guy's on the OZ Blackbird site seem to rave about them! Just one thing - by cupped I assume that is where the sections between the centre of the tyre and the outer edge seem slightly hollow? . When I pumped the tyres up from 32 psi to 38 it made a bit of difference and also helped stop the bike from running so wide around corners. I never really noticed this cupping phenomena on my old bikes 1983 XS250 and 82 CB750 just feathering on the outer edges is it more prevelent with newer bikes?
