    When I was in the biz, the tech's would use feeler gauge under the bushing to take out excessive play in the bushings. Dont ask me how they did it, I gave them some beer and it was fixed. As far as a high speed wobble goes,its many things. Frame bracing helped mine the most when I was racing but it never went away. Its part of its personality, which is why we are all here on the forum. We love our GS's.

      Got a friend who was, is and always will be in the biz. He mentioned the feeler gauge fix. Frame bracing may be out as my old dog will remain stock. So yes, Ill agree. It is in its "personality" and my fix will be simple......SLOW DOWN . Still wondering why when new I could go as fast as it would go with no wobble or weave......

        Sometimes a death grip on the bars will induce a HS wobble, sometimes...

          We never seem to slow down... Lol. When they actually raced showroom bikes, In corner 1 (A wide open corner) at Brainerd Raceway, with stock bikes, I actually seen and heard a CBX wobbling. It had stock pipes. Bracing is a lot of work.
