AL really my 850 motor is balanced at 72% and hard mounted in the Featherbed and its quite smooth at low RPM I can ride around town/suburbs in top gear at 40mph without any problems at all any lower I got to drop it into 3rd and on the open roads it cruises pretty smooth between 70 to 90 all day if I want, it does get a few vibs at curtin revs but just going through those areas it smooths out again, my days of high speeds are over and knowing my Norton will go well over the ton I am happy the way it's built and nothing falls off and the best thing I get to take it out when ever I want, how long has it been for you.Sometimes AL you talk about things you have no idea at all, my motor will rev freely from low RPMs to high revs but do in need to do 8000 RPMs and when I do stick it into it through the gears it surprises a lot of modern bike riders, I have nothing to prove but I have a lot of fun on this old bike of mine.Same as my 1200 Thruxton nothing to prove but I just love the torque of that smooth running bike love both bikes for what they are, for my enjoyment and nothing else.No use having a bike sitting in the shed and dreaming about how good it was in your eyes only, maybe it's time to pass it onto someone who will ride it, put a stock gearbox in it and some lights and ride it when you feel like it instead of talking about it, you don't need high speeds to enjoy your bike or riding around circles on track.
