I swear, I have NOT read any replies yet. . .
I'd wish that my bike was a parallel twin or v4--silky smooth. Even a perfect Honda v-twin isn't smooth enough after 5k miles or so of a trip. Love my old bike but would love it to be vibration free from idle to full road speed.
Now, time to read the replies!
Regards,
Wishing you my best

My bike's theme song:
At a stop it shudders like a paint shaker, but it smooths right out at 3000 r.p.m.
I've done all the mods to it I'm going to do. I put on heated handgrips, a windshield, and a passenger backrest. I don't want louder pipes. If I could change anything about it, I'd maybe want the engine to throw off less heat in the summertime. Sitting at a stop in over 30 degree heat and my undercarriage gets roasted.
I've been admiring the pics of your Shadow. You've taken good care of it.
