10 wt Bell Ray in front and 944 std in rear works OK but rear is still a little stiff. I guess riding behind my BMW K1600 and Gold Wing buddies have me still wishing for that perfect ride, but I do like my HOG !!!
Stiffening the front made it plant in the curves for sure but I still can't keep up with my Goldwing buddies... and I scrape the footboards all the time...I told them I can keep up with the CB so they can always be found, well for about a mile or so anyway...LOL.
My brother has an 03 Goldwing, that thing is crazy fast and handles incredible. But he's not near as cool as I am
One of my very good friend has a 04 with 298000 miles on it... he said when he hit 300k he was buying a new or newer one...He is retiered and rides everywhere... I look up to him and I tell you , he has smoked some crotch rockets on the tail of the dragon a few times...When he stopped at the store the young ones went up to him and said holy **** mister... where did you learn to ride like that... He said that is around 1 million mies under my belt son... He is 68 years old...still rides like a ****...
