hello all..well after years of riding a honda 1100 ace my bud let me ride his 95f3 i only rode it 15 minutes (only sb i ever rode) i got off and said "this is a superior machine"for many reasons..for a while i had tired of the the vibration[,pulling in clutch to see if police were behind me befor going]the weak front end suspensionand 600lbs of machine, feet forward, arms out and being a kite, 200 mile runs put me in bed when arriving home after holding myself against the wind..i would drop my rears and hook my heels for a change of position....anywho i sold the ace and the money promptly went somewhere else...kids...what can you do..i had an ill vt600 to mess with but carb issues and no power did not hold my interest so i chopped it and bobed it and still not interested in it i am just done with v-twins and a rc51 is out of the question..soooo my bud wrecked the bike and bought a gsxr600,his 95f3 sat for 6 months and now it is in my shed and i have a anotherproject..rims destroyed..tail sections trash. front upper trash, tail light bent..swing arm bent, seat ripped..side fairings and tank good..bike starts and goes in gear to get in shed...have ebay swing arm tire and rim.and lowering link. and i am on my way..nice to see alot of activity here..just like the shadow forum i went to
