Ok..so I just got my 87 1200 Interstate, 99,000 miles Sunday and Ive put about 250 miles on it and Im extremely happy with its performance...Its had a full resto prior to me purchasing it with new belts, plugs, clutch and more...
I live in/around Atlanta Ga and will be taking a trip with girlfriend to Beaufort S.C. Its about a 280 mile ride, about 5 hours.
Would any of you have a concern doing this on a new ride? Ive always been a weekend rider, 75-100 miles here and there so I have never made a decent trip on a bike (bikes were always too small except the rs100 30 years ago). The girlfriend is totally into it..I might keep her
Thanks

One last thing...I notice the shifts are hard on this, meaning not a smoth quiet one but more clunky...is that normal for this bike? New clutch and rebuit cylinder is about 2000 miles old. Thanks again!
