One other thing I noticed needing due to occasional headshake coming out of corners under alot of throttle is a steering damper.

Just a cheap one, as I know getting better tires, and setting up the suspension right will do away with 95% of it.

Never hurts to have one.

Before you get a steering damper, you want to sort out the suspension and ride hieght since most headshakes occur because of suspension settings(or riding style).  Using a steering damper to dial out headshake may just be covering up a suspension setting issue.

Not sure if it's been metioned, but, being able to read tire wear gives you insight on suspension setting issues.  Check out http://feelthetrack.com/tire-wear.html.  You can order a dvd from them that goes in depth regarding suspension set up and how tire wear relates to suspension set up.

Thanks Goose, and you are right in that changing tires, and tire pressure can cause or get rid of headshake.

Appreciate your time and wisdom.
