I then pulled the bike over to the side of the road and checked it from top to bottom. I could find nothing wrong and it was fine for the rest of the day.

I can now reporduce the feeling at will. Hit about 70mph, hold onto the bars and plant my feet squarly on the boards. Then throw my ass one way or the other in the seat, the bike deffinitly "flexes". I am guessing it is the rubber mounted swingarm and I am sure at some point I will add one of the "missing Link" type products. For now I try not to do double the posted speed on the entrance ramps!


Entrance ramps suck and its a good place to go slower than the posted speed limit because of oil spills and stuff on the ramps.. Ask me how I know.... 11k in damage.
