My wife is an ex military officer *and* Korean. pretty hilarious though you'd never guess from looking at her. think "Bond girl". I can't even imagine how that would go down if I told her to 'take the bus'. lol - plus, my bike looks a lot better with her on the back

let me know about the suspension. hopefully it does not cost one million Yen . I will PM you some build specs on the Big Dog motor. designed & built it myself with input from some really top notch old school builders.

"Death Wobble" !! Looking for reassurance.

I'm reading a number of threads lately related to the wobble problem, even on models like the Low Rider. This apparently involves rubber mounted engines only ?? Am I correct in assuming HD models, with "B" engines like our Breakouts, are immune from the "Death Wobble" problem ?

"Wringing hands and waiting".

Nope....AFAIK this is not only limited to bikes with a non-B engine cause it is a general effect in vehicle dynamics depending on multiple factors. Check out this...

Hey Mark - EagleRay is spot on. Keep it under 225kmh and you should be fine

No catch. 225 KPH = 139.5 MPH.

There is no way a stock Breakout can hit that speed. It takes some engine work to be able to do so.
