I recently fitted a Anakee Wild on the front of the GS800.
At 120km/h it does not feel planted, like the front wheel is too light. I did a quick lane change yesterday on the highway at 120km/h and the bike started weaving. I backed off the throttle and normal service resumed.
I was previously running a Metzler Karoo 3 on the front and had no issues at speed.
Anybody else running the Anakee wild on the front? Whats your experience? any recommendations?

For the record:
I am running a Mitas E07 on the rear
I have the Hyperpro progressive springs in the front
Type pressures were about 2.1 in the front , 2.4 at the rear
No luggage, no pillion.
I recently had my steering bearings replaced, bike has done 17k km
