Hey guys. Ive been trying to get this bike ready for riding season for a few months now. To give you a brief history, this bike was a RE-PO and was really neglected. Both tires had dry rot, throttle was sticky, clutch was a Edit to pull and hold. Since I have had it, I have put new grips, new tires (front and back), got the clutch smooth and working nice, throttle is perfect and bounces back to position awesome. The only thing that I am struggling with is the actually handling of the bike. Its really hard to hold a straight line in the straight away. It does fine in the corners! Its just riding on a straight road it wants to "drift side to side" or another way to put it would be it just floats down the road, going right and left! Its like I am fighting it the whole time to go straight. My buddies give me Edit because I am all over the road. People tell me with a raked out front end you are going to have that but i have followed Choppers and bikes that are really raked and it seems that they do fine as far as keeping "a line". Here is a recent pic of me taking my niece around the block. You can see the rake and see if you think it is something that I am going to have to deal with or something that can be fixed! I HOPE! Thanks guys for all your input and Ride Hard!
