I have been out thrasing the Baggie.. It's a blast with the new gears and all my mods to date. The tyres Pirelli Diablos are nice and gummy too. Whats the next step to making the suspension a tad firmer to handle speed. I've been using the superbikers pose and tuck to limit wind resistance and keep it steady. Is there anthing short of a set of OLINS up front that I can use.

So, how are the Diablos ?? have you pushed the old MT's to the limit, If so how do the Diablos compare, I'm assuming when I put mine on I should get better front end stability and much better grip heeled over...
when you first got your baggy and got her up to 70 mph and beyond does the front end feel nervous. especially If its a little breezy out. I read that a street front tire helps alot ? read that from a guy in the UK, he had the same complaint as I do...

a good tuck at speeds helps the most ..for stability..
