Need your help guys, bike shaking...

[Deno_n_Philly]

Here is what is going on now. I have a new fed job and can finally ride. The problem is my bike shakes at high speed now. I changed my triple tree from stock to a chrome lowering. It lowered my front by 1/4 - 1/2 inch, not a big deal. But when I go over 115, my front end shakes and it never used to. I was going to get a stablizier bar, but I don't know if that is what I need. Can you guys help me? BTW my Dunlop Q2's are awesome.. Chris... Thanks guy.

A stabilizer may calm it slightly, but would be a bad idea and only a bandaid.
If your tires are ok(good tread, wear pattern, and no weights missing), and this immediately started after installing the new triple clamps, then it sounds like they aren't lined up correctly. Or that the steering head bolt is not tight enough.
I would check both to start.

I have a chrome one on mine also and never had any trouble with it. Like sixpac577 said I would check the tree to make sure things are even. Use dial caliber's of a depth mic to make sure they are the same. This is what I used when I installed mine.

Check what you just changed or upgraded first. Check your tires in regards to tread and weights.

The stabilizer is a good idea but only after you find and fix the problem. Covering up a problem is asking for trouble. Did the problem start the second you installed the new clamp?

Just remembered this, my friend had actual tire issues on his bike (non hayabusa cuz he is a girl lol) but found out that from letting the bike sit for a longer period of time that the tires actually started to dry rott (he couldn't see it because it was on the middle of the wheel), and when you mentioned that you are now able to ride I am assuming your bike has been sitting for a little bit. Go get your tires checked out to see if they are still good, been hearing more and more of this lately actually. Also agree with others to check your tree.

Update, I check mine today and my fork tubes were .025 off sticking out of the tree. I am not sure how much this will affect this but after we fixed it, it seems to ride a little more free. I did lower it about another 1/4 of an inch. I don't think it moved after we got it done the first time. I am guessing someone misread the mic when checking it. (It wasn't me ) Anyway maybe this will help and I hope you find your troubles

If it was a problem with the tires ( like balance or cupping) then the shaking would also be present at slower speeds and not just over 100+ mph
