Thanks! yea i've read about the steering head angle being the culprit and i am considering making the adjustment next winter as a project as i wanted to pc the frame anyways but we'll see. I have to research more on that and offset clamps to weigh in on how i want this bike to turn out. If the clamps will do as much as adjusting the angle than i will go the bolt on route every time but, it's my understanding that the head angle is to steep on the 05-08 models. Also considered finding an 03-04(us model) frame but i have to see if that will solve my problem, and how much work if possible to change over. For now, i'm just enjoying time on the bike as i've had a 5 year absence from the sport
