[QUOTE="Prosper Keating, post: 11546, member: 1376"] Well, I tried holding her down to 60-65 mph coming back up to the city yesterday. Quite vibratory. With earplugs in, I didn't hear the clatter behind me as the flat bit of the rear number plate detached itself somewhere between Vendôme and Toury, complete with light and LED bulbs. So I gave her her head on the N20, with a new-found disregard for the speed cameras, and she cruised with no noticeable vibes at around 75 mph. The only hassle was all the helpful bikers pulling alongside and gesticulating towards my rear end...or, rather, the Comet's rear end. Awful welding between plate and support, by the way. I've seen better work coming out of Pakistan. I suppose the lower nut and bolt behind the aftermarket reflector let go and the welding couldn't stand the shake, rattle and roll. Just like my Triumph days... PK [/QUOTE]
