Thanks for all the great input guys! I took it to a buddy 's shop last night & he thinks the bulk of the weight is because it's to low up in front. I am going to lift it up to stock height with some Legend shocks that he worked me a deal on.

I will update you all once I get them installed & how it turned out.

I have a full JL Audio system on it, amp, fairing speakers with tweeter & lowers with speakers. Could the extra weight be making it want to do that?

Head bearing is fine.

I have a 21" front wheel
Progressive monotubes lowering it 2"
The rear is stock height & stock springs.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

yea.... thoughts.... u put a 21" wheel on front... and then you lowered it 2"..... who knows what you have.... you have changed the whole geometry of the bike....pretty much threw all the engineering out the window... and thats what you have.... imo
