I ride with a fellow who had the first set of ST45/46 that I have ever seen,
on his brand new ST1300.  I witnessed it going into a buck and weave speed
wobble at about 112 mph.  We were able to reproduce the occurance about 3
times in that same ride.  Come to find out the front tire was out of round.
Now, with that being said, the next set of tires I put on my bike were the
ST45/46, did a trackday, and the same road we caused the issue on the ST1300
on, and I have not experienced any instability problems.  I am now into my
2nd front(which didn't require any weight to balance), and the 3rd rear is
waiting on my spare wheel for me to run the last few hundred miles before
swapping out and heading for eastern PA for Labor Day weekend.
