Asking & talking to land speeders on 750 geometry Commandos told me they had no problems nor have I on decent surface non windy conditions but last Sunday ride on Trixie Combat going 90's moderate gusts on some waving asphalt she started the Weave while throtting a bee line so had to grit teeth and use body strength even more during the lowing of throttle that loads more of oscilating fork action backwards till 70's settled down again. This was not a fast action tank slapper event but whole bike and pilot wiggle wobble. Its the first time I've had Hinge onset going straight ahead no thought of lurking upset I know so so well to avoid on a clumsy Cdo. Its so rare I still prefer to live with the less effort to steer 750 rake. A fork damper would of prevented this wiggle wobble up to the point the whole bike reaction over comes the damper allowing free fork action for road following then may feel like trying to recover a crash with forks locked stiff off to one side or the other. Nothing wrong with 750's or 850's but their sloppy isolastics of which there is a solution one fellow enjoys to high heavens.
