That surprises me. I ride rice bikes which are for the most part very stable at low speed, and when I got my bagger I was expecting all sorts of problems, but I was surprised to find the bike handles very well, exceptionally well from 1 to 100 MPH.Are you grabbing the front brakes causing the wheel to go further left or right and over? Any amount of front braking while the bars are turned is going to make the bike want to do its very best Andrea Doria imitation. The good part is the engine and bag guards on a dresser are almost indestructible and will prevent most slow speed/stopping/tip over damage. Don't try to find out how much just take my word for it.There is not much you can do to lower the CG on an 820 pound bike. Try a different approach to parking and or stay off the front brakes, just don't panic and lock the backs.
