Under what riding conditions, and what do you mean by "a little shake in the forks etc"?

I'm not saying I'll have the answer. Different conditions and different symptoms can run one down different diagnostic trails though.

If you are hell bent on a stabilizer, the HD TriGlides come with a stabilizer. I don’t know if they would fit your bike. And I take no responsibility for the performance on your bike that may result in equipment damage, injury, and or death.

I have one. It's to prevent any high speed action just like another other fast paced motorcycle on the market has or can be installed.

im 4 over suspension in front from 2+ tubes and cartridges with +2 drop trees in concunjtion with 14.25 rear shocks. I mounts under lower triple tree and bolts to left side of frame legs.

Steering dampner most definitely makes the ride better if your really getting after it with heavy lean angles on a big *** bike. I also have solid rear isolators installed so it locks my swingarm in place with mo more wiggle from the crappy harley rear isolators.

my dampner is not to band aid anything. . Just to have a proper set up.

you may need to look up "the missing link" and buy it, then get your motor/chassis aligned.

21" up front without suspension, alignment and such could definitely be making funky responses in the riding experience. It also could be a loose rear eyelet or over tightened rear shock. Miss matched tire treads etc.
