Disagree 100%. This is my second SV, I've done tons of track days and never once has the front end ever given me any resembling headshake. The SV's geometry is just not as severe as a 600SS bike. It's not necessary unless you are riding at race pace.

I never had the issue riding fast, it was riding around town that I got the headshake.

Took a short ride up the mountain last night. So far the brakes and front springs are the best mods. Like a different bike

Honestly it sounds like your specific bike may have had issues. I've never heard of any SV at street pace ever having problems.

Hokie, where did you send your shock?
