I doubt you will raise many eyebrows unless your bike is illegal. I have
raced in about 5 of AHRMA's 750 Gp races, 3 times on an 850 and twice
on a 1000 Guzzi and was never able to best Team Obsolete. After finally
winning (and withdrawing my entry) in a 750 gp race at my local track (TO 
didn't show) I stopped running AHRMA. I believe that Honda 750 based
race bikes must run "stock" swing arms, and stock single piston calipers.
Lots O` luck...

I'm experiencing the same problem with the '83 GS1100L that I just purchased.
Not knowing the complete history of this bike, I don't know if my problem
is a result of some previous accident.  I have done a quick check of the
steering head bearings and that doesn't seem to be the problem.  Of course,
without checking the torque on them, I won't know "absolutely".
The front tire is a Dunlop Qualifier ( aaak - yuk - puke ) with the typical
uneven wear on the tread.  It seems to me that this could very well contribute
to the wobble when operating the bike with one hand.  The unequal pressure on
the bars, I would think, would tend to track the front tire off center,
thereby causing an oscillation between the higher center tread and the lower
"just off center" tread.

The Honda CL's had "scrambler" style pipes that exited up near the seat
instead of down next to the swingarm.

I used to own a '73 CL175 and the head pipes on that bike looked like
they had been designed by someone who had sniffed more that his/her
fair share of spooge.

  I'd say the "H2". Great sound, good power, awful handling. Honda
eventually responded with the CBX. Funny but both bikes have a very
devoted following.

  Memories of my H2 are invariably more colorful and frightening than
those of any other bike I've owned. Was there ever an H2 owner who
didn't see the doorway of death.

	In the summer, I've never seen a station with gasahol in N.M.
  (if the fuel contains alcohol, they are required to post a notice
  on the pump).  In Albuquerque only, we are under the gun for exceeding
  federal standards for CO (at one intersection between the two largest
  malls, right before Christmas, when we were experiencing a temperature
  inversion - but that's enough to bring the EPA down on you..).  The
  result is that all gas stations in Albuquerque must add oxygenating
  agents to fuel between October 1 and March 1 (the problem period for
  temperature inversions).  Most stations add alcohol, but I think 6%
  is all that they add (none of that 10% stuff*).  Some stations use
  MTBE instead, but they are getting harder to find, since it costs more
  than alcohol.  Last year, all the Chevron stations were using MTBE, but
  I think they are switching to alcohol this year :-(.  So, except for
  the Oct-Feb period, you don't have a problem in N.M. - just check the
  pump anyway - if they add alcohol, it will be posted on the pump.
       *On a trip back east in 1991, I had to fill up late at night
  at a station selling 10% alcohol fuel - I think it was in that little
  strip of Maryland you go through on I81 heading south from Pa. towards
  Virginia.  This was in my monster cage (Chevy 4wd Suburban).  I made it
  down the road less than an hour before the engine died (thankfully, on
  the outskirts of Winchester, Va (a neat little town).  The membrane in
  the fuel pump had been dissolved by the alcohol and it quit pumping gas
  to the old quadrajet (instead leaking it all over the engine compartment).
  A day later and $75 poorer (plus motel room) we were back on the road again.

The most common cause of wobble is an underinflated tyre.
Second is a pitted head race.
Third, and I am guessing, might be a mis-aligned or bent yoke/fork tube set
up.

Try testing front tyre pressure.

Try putting bike on centre stand, slacking off the four pinch bolts on the
yoke holding the fork tubes, slacking the fork brace if tbere is one, then
holding the front wheel between the knees, GENTLY wiggle the bars.

Last, tighten up the pinch bolts to the correct torque.  If the bars do not
look or feel straight, then you have bent forks: replace them.

Good luck.

Just that. More metal. Bigger. Heavier.

I was considering the question of how much weight of motorcycle is
required to achieve a certain performance. Those motorcycles which are
heavier than a similarly equipped Harley distinctly outperform a
Harley.

	Don't get into the habit of using your weight to turn your bike.
You should use countersteering to turn, not weight.  A 150 lb man 
can't be expected to shift 500+ lbs of weight around, especially
when the centripital force is pulling in the opposite direction.
The proper manner in which to get you bike to go around a curve is
to look into the curve, press on the inside part of your hand on
the side you wish to go in and then you lean. This is called
countersteering. Sure you can lean a bike then go into the curve
but if you find that you don't have enough lean angle for the turn
then you might just high side before you could get the weight shift
to work for you.

For what it's worth, I'd imagine that asphalt at 40 mph is probably
somewhat harder than wet sand at 25-30 mph. Until my low speed
faceplant, I used to use the low speed/close to home/slow bike argument
to convince myself that my open face helmet was a good substitute for my
full face. Now I've decided that if I'm going to bother wearing a
helmet, it might as well be one that will give the most protection
possible.

jockeying my bike into its position in the corner of our 2-car garage. I 
always try to get it as close to the wall as possible so that we can fit 2
cars in there too. Well, I had it just where I thought I wanted it, I went
to put down the kickstand and realized that I had been leaning it WAY too far
away from the wall (wall was on the right) and it went over before I new what
was happening! I was shocked! Then I was furious with myself for being such
an idiot after years of accident-free motorcycling. 

Anyhow, the only apparent damage was a little scrape on my left mirror, a bent
shifter, minor scrape on engine case just below the word "HONDA", and gas on
the garage floor. Is there anything I should look out for that may have
escaped my attention thus far?  Please enlighten me, all experienced tipsters.
