It might be helpful to post pictures of the frame so that anyone that hasn't seen one can see where the braces are already. I could post a few if you need me to.
My guess is that the swingarm bushings might need attention. I will say that the cornering capability of that bike is quite good.

[edit] I'm not suggesting to use the police bike, just to look at the areas Kawasaiki braced on them.

like these braces?
1 thing i dont see on these frames is a brace above, and parallel to the swing arm. This was something that Tony Foale (frame guru)added to the 750 frame he did. he also added cross braces between the 2 front horizontal cross braces.
If u PM me i could email u a file with frame pics and a bit of theory.

That looks like a stock GPz1100 frame, vice the two little studs up front, and the rear cut off. Is this the original Muzzy frame or is it a replica?This frame also does not have the bracing typically found above the swingarm pivot, but EL did tolerably well on it anyway.
