Mrs. 2LZ Victory is almost impossible to ride with no hands because all the giant exhaust pipes hang on one side.

We'd know a lot more about this problem if one of us had an incline-o-meter. Currently, the digital read out ones have magnets, and you glom them on the steel part of the fork tubes to check the steering head angle. Try it both with the bike Naked and with you sitting on it, with your long suffering wife reading off the degrees. 27.5 degrees allows fast steering, but not twitchy. Ducati's, Harleys and Indians are 30 or a little more degrees, and they go down the road like an old toad. That means locked-in steering...ARH
