Shimmy

Just a theory in re: to my Trophy when I found I had some handlebar shake with hands off.
I put an upgraded Hagon shock on the rear to handle my size and two up riding and 1KG Race Tech springs in the forks (didn't even change the factory fluid) after which I have not had one incident of bar shake.
I believe in my instance that my wt. plus my rider's, changed the geometry of the of the head which was causing the bar shake.
I also agree that keeping at least one hand on the bars helps, because I allowed the bike to get to the "tank slap" shake a couple of times to see how it would respond and found that just a firm grip on the bars stopped the shake w/o any undue force needed.
