You made this asinine statement, not me. And now you have decided that it is the hill you wish to die on.
It would be wiser if you backed off of the pronouncement or at least let it fade away.

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"
lol, I get the feeling we ride alike,, the wife and I was on the interstate the other night and a Goldwing wanted to play, looked at my phone today.

When your phone rat you out-

My 1.1/8" belt will not rise in the center of the front drive pulley because the rear pulley is shined 3/8" total to clear the 150 tire..

Nope...
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!!!

Measure your Frame height. If its higher in the front than in the rear by a significant amount it will lighten that front end and cause Wobble. Geometry is definitely king here.
