Yup,

can you "ride through it" ie does it vibrate really bad at 70 but at 80 its fine? If so it is probably balancing, if its throught i would have thought its an alignment problem?

Presumably you are using the wheel/tyre that you had previously been using on your K1 forks?

Even if everything else is the same and working properly, it's not inconceivable that you knocked off a wheel weight during the change-over. Look on the wheel for the tell-tale sticky outline of where a weight used to be stuck. Or just take it to your tyre fitters and let them check the balance, rule out the obvious before taking anything else apart.

Was it that billowing white jacket you had on causing instability?
