So it is not really the slow speed stuff, it is tracking ruts a little more aggressively than I want which "twitches" the handlebars sometimes. I am looking at leveling links and wonder if that would help.

That is for sure, my Vision is air cooled and that thing fries my legs on a good day, I would be hurting on a day like today.

As a taller rider (6'3) I have found it a challenge to find a bike I really fit well on, does not feel to compact but is also not a land barge. I have owned and ridden most of the big bikes, Ultra Classic, Vision, Cross Country, Vulcan 2K, Nomad, FJR, and the list goes on. But I honestly do not think I have ridden a better all around bike than the RSV. I can ride it aggressively, it responds, I can ride it chilling, it is fine with that too. It is big but not too big, still feels compact but not too compact. With my Sampson turn out exhaust, but buddy says it sounds like his old mustang. I don't think I have been this comfortable on a bike since the Victory Vision (have one of those too) but this just has a different vibe to it. Overall I have been very impressed and not sure I am tracking with folks who complain about the low speed weight, I have had much worse. Engine is smooth and linear, shifting is smooth and is a very easy bike to handle. One thing I am still working out is the front wheel feels a little squirrely to me sometimes, like it tracks grooves in the road a little too well and I feel some of that in the handlebars but not too bad. And I wish the front brakes grabbed a little better. But both I can deal with. Overall, just impressed with bike, and at the price point, who cares if it is carbureted, mine runs like a dream.

I am a new 2009 Venture owner and have heard good things about leveling links. Being a taller rider I think it would be good to get a set, how to I coordinate an order with you?

Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to getting to know everyone.
