Long wheel base bikes are most prone to tankslappers. I have had a full on let go of the handlebars tankslapper before your wrists get broken on the K75S. Fortunately I was in the process of getting the sidecar running properly I was not going fast so nothing too drastic accident wise happened except inside my underpants.
After I had got the sidecar set up properly I fitted steering damper as advised by an expert.
(The outfit still will try to tank slap even with the steering damper if you give it a huge handful of throttle in 1st or 2nd gear.)
