I love my Springer. Just rode over 300 miles today on my Springer Classic and the front end is solid. I don't have that big a problem with low speed parking lot riding also, but I'm not exactly trying to do those crazy police manuvers around cones.

One of my all time favorites is the '97 - 2003 Heritage Springer, with or without all the fringe. My question deals with the counter-balanced vs. non-counterbalanced engines on these. Is there a big difference in feeling the engine vibrations. I believe they started using the counterbalancers in 2000. Thanks - Steve

Have you done it before on your Springer? If not, I'll be curious how it handles on the course.
