It would be wiser if you backed off of the pronouncement or at least let it fade away.

So I checked a couple more things and the steering head was indeed loose.. I remember hearing knocking over sudden little jolts, so I tighten that up to the point where it doesn't fall off but you need to help it to fall off. It's really good and firm now and it's not slow going down the road in the twisties.. The other thing too was I checked my tire pressures and Jesus you really got to stay on top of this **** I'll tell you.. I had 27 in the front and 22 in the rear, can't believe I let it go that long without checking.. I now have them up to 37/34. I can corner at 80-85 now and it's planted firm to the ground. I also did one run from 80 to a 120 but I was down on the tank out of the air and I never once got the slightest hint of a wobble.. It was so smooth even at a 120.. I guess the moral to all this is that you got to keep up on the maintenance on your because **** does fall away.. I'm just glad I checked all that first before I went drastic and increased the trail by changing the triple trees ones with the offset of 1.45"..
And by the way @Racepres I did measure my trail and I'm right at 5.4"

When last time You, could setup a rear wheel Cocked...ie Not aligned with the Drivetrain, and have a Decent handling Bike???
Nah... I will ride this Horse to Death... If the Belt/rear wheel is Not Aligned...it is Wrong!!!!
The way to tell is equal distance gap on each side...Chain or Belt!!!
