Since then I have slackened the steering damper off to the lowest friction level (all the way anti-clockwise) and that seems to have cured it.

What are the settings supposed to be? How many turns away from max should it be for 1) me 190 lbs, the wife 100 lbs, and Guzzi leather panniers with luggage.
2) myself and wife
3) just me

Or is it just trial and error?

I also find it difficult to settle on an adjustment level as the front end seams to have some demons. Any issues that people are aware of with the 2007 front end would be appreciated.

Doing this does not take that much longer than removing some of the so-called removable bags, which lock on with a key.
Removing the bags makes adjusting the rear shocks so much easier.
I realize you know this, but someone new to a CALVIN might not.
