I don't think the Goose would like you modifying yourself like a VFR1200!

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,

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.

Current ride is a bmw f650 (the dual spark).

The SEAT!! I so need to buy a new one, but I'm always too poor.
