Tires and possable fork brace?

[steve lebow]

I have an 83 1100E
The bike has a bad weaving motion over 100 mph.
Can any one suggest where to get, and what would be a good set of tires for this bike.
Also where could I get a quality fork brace.

I just installed a new set of progressive shocks and springs and will be re doing the fork seals as well as new fork springs and tapered head bearings.
Thanks

Make sure your rear wheel is straight in the swingarm! My GSX used to do that too - at around 180kph... I found that measuring the wheel rim to swingarm distances, so they were set evenly, cured it! Warning: YMMV! Top speed with it setup like this was with the speedo needle against the stops - measured at 143mph through a flying 1/4 mile once - still accelerating.... ...and NO weaves.

If you can find some to fit (front and rear - gotta do a matched set), try and put some radials on it! Worked wonders for the weaves induced by hitting a bump or dip in mid corner! I had radials on mine - but with 18" wheels front and back...

Tire alignment or loose steering head bearings

I would check those for certain. I would also keep thinking new tires as well, if they show any signs of crown wear or such. For a fork brace, and i dunno if he'll have it for that particular bike, but he has lots for alot of bikes, check out the Tarozzi selection found at

I dont have this one on my 83 GS1100ED but I have one of these for my 81 GS750EX. Decent part

Thank you for the information.
Any particular brand of tire for this bike that works best.
I will look in to the radials if available.
