I actually haven't seen my bike wobble any in a good while.. I've never had any problem with my '02 R1 with tankslappers. I'm not having a steering damper on there either.

Usually if you get wobble btw, is cuz you're not at the balance point, you're cutting the wind half way up in a wheelie and that makes your bike wobble.

Also, if you're standing real weird behind the bike in a wheelie and wind has to pass through you or pass you by making a "turn".. that'll make the wind "catch" your bike and throw it from side to side.

Since I've stopped doing fast wheelies I don't get that **** anymore.

Btw, fastest wheelie I've held is 148mph on the speedo. With stock gearing! Held it.. not speeding up... pop a short one and let it down. I held it at that speed.
