My handling isn't as rock steady since my front mount snapped ,and I replaced it with a NRSA mount.The engine dropped, only the front stabilliser and the cylinder hitting the frame arrested it's fall.
I now have a slight wag through the bars at speed and when cornering hard on bumpy road surfaces.
I can't find any obvious faults to cause this ,any suggestions

I'm assuming you also replace the rubber isolator that the mount was attached to. If so Check the swing arm isolators. Next would be a close inspection of the shock and steering head.Also check the lateral stabilizers, three of them I think. Also have a look at rear wheel alignment. But a good rule is to start with the last thing you touched.

Couldn't find anything wrong with isolators front or back,but did find my rear tyre was down to 32psi instead of 36.
The handling is now better,it may be that I am pushing a lot harder in corners as I get used to it's handling.
