There is NO way I'm taking the Rebel over the bridge.......Wind factor, little bike. I almost got my sunglasses blown off my head today coming home from work.

Have they worked on the vibration issue with the Harleys?
I remember that back in the day the motors were solid mount, did they move to a rubber mount on the sportster to take care of this?

Touring bikes have a rubber mounted bike. The Dyna's and Softtails have a counter balanced solid mount.

My experience is this:

The touring bikes have a vibration when stopped, as soon as you start moving it stops. The Dyna's and Softails are the opposite. When stopped they are smooth, once you start moving the vibration is noticable but not terrible.

If you cant move your left foot very well why dont you look into something that has a heal toe shift then all u have to do is lift your leg usin your knee more then your ankle might be away to go

OMG! Why didn't someone else think of that?

My uncle did a road trip to California on a rigid frame w/ a girder front end many moons ago. He made it as far as Arizona before mechanical issues sent back here.

Miraculously, he did not liquefy his kidneys during this trip.

Taking my bike up to see if BCP can shift with it today. Wish him luck. I hope he doesn't scratch my bike!!!!

Wouldn't it be easier to put a brick on his foot and see if he can lift it?

My Softail shakes ALL the time now. For some strange reason, the girlfriend prefers this bike to the Buell now. Could this be that eternal buzz that she had been searching for?

Dunno if I still want to take my mom for rides on the Harley anymore though.
