Hey guys, I've been trying to find answers to my issue through search and haven't been so lucky. I've read up on some suspension stuff and believe that I am setup right but am still experience this issue.

Bike: 05 XB12R - Jardine can is only real mod.

Issue: Nasty and severe headshake/vibration between 50 - 60 mph. After 60ish it seems to die down and become more stable, but it is almost scary in this spectrum. If I take my hands off to bars (not that I advocate this, but I tried to see what was happening) severe headshake develops at this speed and also tapers off as speed progress.

It is scary; the bike feels extremely unstable.

Checked:
Tire Pressure
Suspension Setup
Isolater
-no dice.
