I just replaced both of my tires using Michelin Pilot 4 GT's. Under 70 MPH the handling is great, but over that speed the handling feels squirrelly. I have a Clearview aftermarket windshield and I know that it is contributing to my issue since when I adjust it lower the squirrelly feeling gets less severe, but does not go away. I also notice that when I am around other vehicles it seems as though the issue gets worse due to how the air from their vehicle is being moved around and hits the bike. I reseated the axle to ensure that everything was aligned and not twisted and then re-torqued all bolts. I even attempted to adjust the rear shock settings, but nothing made a difference. I already replaced the steering head bearings with tapered ones and they seem to be adjusted correctly (turns freely from side to side and no play when checked while front end is lifted).
I guess that the tread design has a lot to do with this issue since I didn't experience it with the previous Michelin tires and it also has to do with the aerodynamics of the windshield and that a fork brace may help with this issue? Any thoughts? If so, Superbrace or Motorcycle Larry fork brace?
Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks
