With and without Road Comet I, 130+ over about 5 mile stretch.
No stability issues encountered.
Maybe you're just going too slow Wink

That is a big top case he is using. I have the E55 on my ST1300. There are lots of reports of high speed instability with the STs and most seem to blame big top cases. So maybe that is some of the problem. I will say that my ST tracks perfectly, but I have never been more than 90mph on it.

The top box on my CB is much smaller, a Givi B47, and I haven't had any problems, but I haven't really ridden it over 65mph.

even with the big topcase I have no issues riding at topspeed (172km/h)

Once in a while I have a wobble, but I think thats due to the winds at that speed.

All in all my bike got more stable as the miles racked up.
Ive done +13.000km in less than 10 months.

I'm assuming you had the Guhl ECU reflash with speed limiter removed. Maybe full exhaust and aftermarket air filter?

@ RIKO: yes, I mean front wheel wobble

@feralchimp @Frulk: I am using the bike with factory equipment and I have no need to exchange anything. But I am thinking on Öhlins shock absorbers. It is not a dangerous and I really enjoyed the bike during my tours. Still I want to resolve that issue.

I have no inkling of float or loss of control and any speed. I'm creeping up on 18,000 miles here this week and about to have my second valve check done this Saturday.

Was anything found or adjustment made on FIRST Valve Inspection?

For some reason when using Tapatalk on my tablet, it doesn't show signature or post counts. I guess motorgeezers answer was yes, lol.

Lol most assuredly. He has had a reflash, with spped and rev limitations removed, opened up airway, installed K&N pods, and a full yosh pipe. I think he's putting out close to 97 hp on the dyno.
