Have you rode one at speed (w/knuck)? I'm thinkin', just sayin', 150 or so is different than 100. Twitchy is the word that comes to mind.drsprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063962955687570596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305674744888494039.post-66856093275411601092010-03-03T07:55:46.890-08:002010-03-03T07:55:46.890-08:00Jeff,

We'll see what you think at speed. Those early springers with that single leg frame with no bottom cradle and that top heavy knuck (made for a lighter head flattie) can move around pretty good at speed. Just sayin'. Probally running a 4 speed box behind it I would imagine. Lighter frame in that area that held a 3 speed smaller trans. Concern, that's all. But that's what heavy leathers are for. Just thinking of you. I don't want to rain on your parade and you've probally considered all this already. Rich P.S. Look forward to your progress.
