I got into my first highway race against a ZX-7R last weekend, and the wind was blowing at us, which made my front wheel come up just enough to start it wobbling whenever I was in my powerband. (9,000-12,000 rpms) It was quite exciting, but scary to have the front wheel come up at 130-150 mph!!!!!!!!! All I had to do was crouch over and push down on the front more to keep it down! We're not talking big wheelies here, just the wheel coming up about 3-4 inches!
I know.. off topic, but it was fun!

Have you swapped out either the front or rear sprocket on that bad boy? I've had the 929 come up on me at high speeds, but Belle's ZX-6R stays planted above 80 or 90 no matter how far you open the throttle. Also, if you are concerned about head shake or tankslapping, I'd highly recommend a Scott's Damper (if you don't already have one). It doesn't kill off all headshake, but significantly helps in potentially violent tankslapping situations.
