I have my clamp at the standard setting. I'm getting a bit of the old sway like BMX racers do. So not headshake, the bars are seesawing in the vertical plane a bit too much after riding through extended shallow chop such as rain runoff. Hopefully going to mess with it some at the farm tomorrow but it's going to be a hot one.

I've already took out some preload while adding back some low-speed compression damping (the only adjustments available on my shocks). They helped, it now takes quite a bit longer to start seesawing. I think a lot of these recommended settings for both shocks and anti-vibes are for 2-4 ply tires whereas I have 6-ply. And I still get holes in them sometimes.

Update: tried the next stiffest setting (two discs). Did not like. There's a reason people buy these things! I suppose if you were doing a TT or flattrack you might want to stiffen it up temporarily.
