Results:

Test 1

22 deg head angle. No steering damper. Ride height set with bat slightly lower 
at rear

Good now that everything is built correctly. Turns well. Occasional bas cat 2
wobble but just about controllable. Gentle cat 1 wobbles but only develop in to
cat 3 under hard acceleration. In other words controllable. Definitely turns 
better at slow speeds, hard to evaluate high speed


Test 2

20 deg head angle no other changes

Slightly worse. No appreciable difference in steering ability or wobbles 
however...

Tucks into slow turns. the front turns to far then washes out. Bike falls onto 
side guards and its then very hard to pick up. Large amounts of steering
trying to turn into the corner is required to help it pick up. I think this is 
to far. the front is now so unstable that it cant ride itself out of corner
