It's a 25 year old UJM, which was probably based on very similar underpinnings to your '81 CB, how good do you expect it to be?
It certainly won't be a patch on your Kwak, but it was never designed to be, it was meant to be a cheap allrounder and the passage of a quarter of a century won't have improved things.
If you want to go mad, replace every chassis bearing and bush you can think of, but you will still be left with a relatively flexible frame and swing arm.
Or just live with it and enjoy the excitement of high speed wobbles, just like we all did back then. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Ahah yeah that's the kind of answer I was looking for, I wanted to know if there's something that might need fixing, or if it's just a limitation of design, which is fine.It is quite exciting ____________________

Thanks for advice
Mot a month ago, I had bearings checked too and no play.
I think removing the screen helped it, not sure if because it was applying pressure to the handlebars...or because without it I go much slower. B roads are much better but A and M, damn pain in the neck ____________________
