Ive called mine a Drunk Rubber Cow for the oscillations it goes thru in a long sweeper. Ive got one I just cant get thru at over 65, It starts see sawin the bars & the rear end feels like its goin up & down. Thats where the throttle stops twisting,, Ive thot that whats happening is the road rises & falls enough to cause the shocks to work, changing the rake angle/steering geometry enough to create the handlebar wobbles..
Ive looked at the swingarm, I cant Feel any play,, but, one guy may not be able to get the bushings loaded up even close to what theyre getting from the bike & rider swinging thru an arc at speed.. Of course, check spokes,. If you arent set on Firm in the shocks, Id do that, Have you done anything to it that Could affect handling? Remove rear wheel?
