Has anyone ever ridden naked through the mountains in April? Would this be morally acceptable or a sin?

I dont know what to say WOW, Dude where you get most of that info. I would edit most of that with a big I dont know and be done.

No, you would not want to do that. The Softail frame would get bent and mangled on the stress of all that vibration.

Have seen how much a Dyna engine moves? Now picture the entire bike being yanked around like that.

When the TCs first came out, the softails were still Evos 'till they came out with the counterbalancers.

It would not smooth out at speed, it would get worse.

Even sticking in a ruber mount, the under-body softail suspension can't take it, and you will either loose, or bend your swing-arm/suspension.
