Alan, my guess as to why this whole slow-speed straight-line holding thing seems harder on our bikes is because the forks are raked out a plenty "generous" 33 degrees(as compared to the standard Bonnie's steeper 29 degrees of rake) and a situation which contributes to slower speed "flops" of the front wheel.

Have you ever watched a guy ride a "raked-out" Chopper and noticed how much this handling phenomenon seems to happen in a case such as that?

(...it's the same principle)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
