looking at a gpz headlight fairing

did you upgrade your fork springs yet?

I don't have a pic of the stock fork brace, but if you take the stock fender, and flip it upside down. Have a look in the middle of the fender you should see some additional bracing, that goes from the bolt holes, up around the fender to the bolt holes on the other side. If you are careful you should be able to remove this. I know I have seen it done with a smaller GS450 fender.

Depending on the time frame you have in mind for the gsxr swap, it may benefit you to upgrade the fork springs. It's cheap, only about 60 bucks, and easy to do.

The problem you describe can be caused by a too soft or unbalanced (front/rear) suspension set up

This can be worsened by adding weight to the front end. Try adding some air pressure to the forks and see what happens

added a fork brace from my old fender...surely that 2 or 3 pounds wouldnt make a difference...is more psi a lil better for cornering? i do drag pegs and shoes on the ol 850 at times

havint tested with the brace...i may tommorow a bit and post results

edit i drilled out the rivets...just a tap and small bit, then to a bigger bit and the brace came right out

well i do belive i need one...my bike has started its stupid wobble again.....anyone have a pic of anything on said stock brace?

Part of the problem might be the lack of tread on your rear tire, too..that baby looks pretty bald to me. New tires will make a huge difference..then dial in the suspension. Bike looks real nice, btw.
