You should address this one problem at a time, start with this problem:

"My buddy is a Honda rider" - resolving this issue eliminates all of these types of confrontations.

If you need to keep him as a buddy, ask him to let his wife, girlfriend, whatever ride with you to offer a second opinion. If she doesn't vote your way, call me and I'll take her for a ride on the shovelhead. That long third gear right before the shift to fourth will convince her.

Little known fact, that is a safety feature, you see, in most cases you can ride much farther on a harley than other bikes, so the vibration serves to shake you awake!
