I have a toby too, i dont run mine full hard because i think that makes it SOOOO stiff that you actually start flexing the mount and can still get headshake. I run mine out about 5 clicks from full hard... anywhere between 3-6 from full hard wil probably work great... fine what works for you.
I also run about 22-25 psi in my tire. that helps stop headshake also.
Oh and one more tip, turn your clipons out a little bit, gives you more leverage on the bars and makes steering them easier.

stiff baby. Upgrade the springs and change the fluids with aunt jemima. There is a few tricks with fork geometry setup, but stiff is where it's at. If you jack your bike up real fast and it pogo's you could eat it. Floppy front ends also cause tank slappers. Also when you're at the BP, any brake input should have minimum/zero input on your suspension just your height.
