Just got a Px after about a 15 year break from them. Has there been any mods to help stop/reduce that weaving feeling you can get on the front end when your in 4th at 50MPH+.

Correct tyre pressure for starters .
What tyres have you got on it?
Bitubo or Fournale shockers if your wallet stretches that far!
Never had the problem myself with stock items fitted correctly!

Bar end weights help too. They don't take the weave out, but they make it easier to live with.

i can recomend bytubos and sip tubless rims with pirelli sl 26's.
slightly wider rim and a hole lot lighter and a good profile tyre that gives good grip and life.
together absolutly transform a large frame !
you cant just run one rim though.front and back or the wheels will be out of alinement !
