P.S....I wonder if its not the tour pack with the higher center of gravity that is making other bikes wallow. The only time I ever recall having a shimmy in the back end was when I was running too low a pressure in my shocks

I have experience the wallow at regular interstate speeds on my bike, going through long sweeping turns at interstate interchanges, with stock tires and now with my ME880 (rear only for now) it didn't change anything. Actually I almost feel like the better sticking tire might have made the swingarm wallowing more noticable becaue the tire transmits all the feel back to me better. (kind of like the way the tire reduces the wallowing feel from the oposite side of the tire due to groove pavement etc.) Anyway,will be able to report back to you next week on if losing the tour pack helps... I see your reasoning in this question... mine will be coming off thursday or so. Also your right about shock pressure making a difference, I prefer my ride at around 10# but the wallow seems better starting aroudn 15#.
