Brett,
That's exactly what I'm saying.  Once I Race Teched the front forks, that
standing up in the corners on the brakes crap went away on my 99 ST.  It came
back very very exagerated with the shinkos.  In fact my 97 Trophy and 01
Daytona never had that propensity until I mounted the shinkos to them as well.

Johnathan,

You may need to explain this a little more, as my understanding is that a 
motorcycle will want to stand up anyway if you apply the front brakes while 
cornering. Are you saying that the Shinkos exaggerate this effect?

I would really like to keep using these tyres as they are half the price of 
the major brands in this country. So far I like the rear over the 020, 
especially for its neutral feel. The front has really gone off in the last 
thousand 
k's or so to the point where I was riding with very little confidence. I've 
heard from a lot of people that no longer like Bridgestones, so we'll see.

Brett.
