had metaltech a-arms switch to gt a-arms(got a little better)
set toe to 1/8 inch
camber @ 0

i did notice one thing that carries from cars to bikes on asphalt you're kingpin angle is not steep enough basically that is the angle from the top arm to the bottom throught the spindle it will cause the fron end to act real funny on pavement optimum kingpin angle is 15deg hope that helps

your setup looks to be correct, if it darts when you let off the throttle than your frontend is misaligned but as you said, it happens while on the gas, it is swingarm or axle bearings you need to be checking
