[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1250539, member: 87479"] I just couldn't deal with the inherent tendency of v-twins to shake things loose. I've had shifters fall off, plates and plate mounts fall off, and a bunch of other stuff come loose. And these were things that were checked regularly and loctited when appropriate. I have no problem maneuvering a road king or nomad in tight quarters, and they are far more comfortable on the open road than my FJR ever will be. But low-and-slow-in-the-right-lane isn't how I travel slab. I generally travel at FJR nominal speeds. That's why I bought a 14A model . I'd have liked blue or black just as well if not better, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the 14. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
