[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 96831, member: 597"] If you lighten the front end of a bike with Brampton type forks, you can quite likely cause the forks to approach a similar condition to the bad geometry of the Girdraulics. If you jack the front wheel off the ground those links will point down though not as much. The actual fork action of Girdraulics is not that different to Bramptons only the Girdraulics have more travel and the springs sit the bike up much higher. All these front ends can behave badly if the conditions allow it. In the video it looked to me as though the chap riding it was sitting very upright and arms straight out, if this shifted the weight even slightly to the rear coupled with all those panniers and top box, I can see how it would start a wobble.
