your thoughts on shaft drive?

Before and after pics say a lot about a man.

Good stuff... well done!

Thanks trianglelaguna ,I picked everything apart and even split apart the speedo and tac ,painted it and pieced it back together.I am a woodworker so the bike was a change for me,the first one and now I think I got the fever and might have an 84 1100ltd lined up for free(smacked on one side though)

Hi Bill ,thanks and I am on the frozen rock since my beginnings.How do I update a signature,I can't even find where to start.

I have the same 1000ST as RON. Awesome highway bikes. Lots of power. They are sturdy and heavy, so good for the h-way and not pushed around by x-winds. Did I say heavy?

I through a viper fairing I bought off of ebay on mine and it really helped with buffeting crusing at 90 MPH.

I paid a pile of loot for mine, but I love it all the same.

If you are in Alberta and are interested in a bike that looks 90 % as good as Ron's PM me and we can meet up.

I have 3 old kaws now and am looking at buying a new crotch rocket....dont ask me why.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Best of success.

Buy it Dude,You won't regret it .I bought mine three years ago and it is by far the best & most fun bike I have ever owned.I redid mine completlly for about 5K ,the Motor everything. And this bike gets more looks than any other ride out there.I am the President of a club here in Montreal and all the other members have much newer bikes and they ride hard and I'm up there right beside them kicking it and having a blast on a 32 Year Old bike,I have taken it on long trips to Laconia,NH and parts of Canada, I have had it on the track for road race on open track days and have drag raced it at ICAR here in Montreal and ran a respectable 12.19 which freaked everyone out seeing as I weigh 350 lbs.(NO BULL-Who says you can't drag a Shaftie.)Thats almost 1000lbs Me and the Machine and definetly the toughest bike I have ever owned and reliable.I love this bike it truly is a legend.

For the love of all that's good, buy the darn thing... before I have to read a 4th time about "dragging shafties". :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Best of success,
