My feet seem to come off the foot pegs above about 80 mph in similar instances, any simple solution?

....light outward pressure utilizing leg muscles while rolling on MORE THROTTLE tends to take care of that !

Please do !

I've got about 7k since my melee , running completely new rear brake assembly, bearings and custom spacers (including an additional spacer the factory does not acknowledge the necessity of), and I must say that I can longer roll the throttle hard or go very fast on that bike without visions of that disaster crossing my mind. I'm about to tear mine down for more engine work and will thoroughly check all that rear axle situation for the third time since reassembly, so far so good, but it is a scary thought knowing how many of these bikes are out there with rear axles assembled to factory specifications !!!

The only real problem I've ever had with mine, in the 36,000 mile on her, is the front spacers seized onto the axle as moco didn't use Never Seize. Luckily, moco went good for it as I bought her new at my stealers and they were the ones replacing the first tire.
