I aired both ends up to 42 last night and took a ride, it was dark and I was not fully ATGATT so I took it easy. It felt very different, amost chopper-esque. I could feel how much taller it was in the front. 

I rode it to work and will take a ride tonight through some curves after my workout and report back. I can't believe this didn't fix the problem. Logically it explains it (used to be great and then wasn't, but I changed nothing) and also just going by the major change in feel I noticed last night.

as for the mid corner head weave : used to have it too . Until I learned to relax on the bike and ride it properly.

Yeah, I should definitely stop sucking as a rider. I'll work on that. Thanks.

Fairly new Pirelli Angel GT's on the bike, maybe 3k on them.

In what condition is the front tire?

(I, too, am trying to stop sucking as a rider.)  ;)

Is there a 50 or 55 in the rear?

55. I loved it for a while then suddenly it started weaving. Maybe I started pushing harder because I unlinked the brakes.

Wait, could it be Kipass?
