that looks sweet, question, how do u guys find cruising above 75 mph? like holding a steady speed for distance? i recently fixed a high speed wooble thinking it was the 21 i did but ended up being a bad set of front shock bushings an a cross of a badly cupped rear tire,, but any speed above 75 mph the front end becomes light an a little squirley, no wooble but loose, dont mean to go in another direction with the thread just like to no if anyone else running a 21 has a same isue?

I go 80-90 MPH on the highways with no problem. My average speed is usually between 75-80 MPH and have not had any issues. Gone as high as 100 MPH but chickened out.

Cruise the highways/interstate all the time at 75-80, and have had my speedo burried and have never had it get squirley!

Replaced the stock suspension with Progressive Monotubes and 1 inch drop. Bike handles better than stock. I cruise at 80 no problems. Been over 100 with hands off the bars and No shakes.
