I used to have a Blackbird, with lots of head shake.

I fitted a steel belted radial front tyre and that solved the problem instantly

I think the later version of what I was using is a Metzler Roadtec Z8

Not sure where you are from, it's not in your profile? Check what other steel belted brands are available locally

Good luck
Glen

Hi coolblackbird.

We had a similar discussion on 1200sport.com a few weeks ago, here's the post...

Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport Forum • Login

When this happened to me I found that all I had to do was consciously relax my grip on the throttle and the problem went away.

Good luck, I know how bad this can get.
