I would say riding mine, BUT I have to have a battery before that can happen. The bike will start once the temp comes up, but not when it is cold. So my big mod this winter is a battery, I guess.

Maybe I will. I have been thinking of a trad-in on a Polaris Vagas bike, but today I stopped in again and it's always the same, nothing happens, I just don't feel any thing when I set on them. I'm not sure how a alignment could stop motor vibe's but it may be worth a try. One of the Dealers I took it to said they checked the alignment and it looked OK, But that could mean they just stood there and looked at it. I will look in to it...Thanks.

Default Oh, what the f***

Ohlins 30mm drop in cartridges in the front forks
aluminum swing arm
fxdxt handlebars- for the daily rides with a thrill
and a tourbox w/ wrap around arm rests on detachable side plates and fabricated securing plate from jackal- for those cross country trips with my wife.
Dynas are adaptable- best handling Harleys made and can be a convertible to touring 2 up, too.
