    these bikes have never been known for their handling
    ..............but they were always curious about why the Specials had the better suspension components than the Standards.

    Here's some pics of my SF with modified peg mounts which bring the position to nearly the same position as the XS1100R or 5K7 Sport. Still has the original ally muffler / footpeg mounts but uses the Sport brake lever and just a shortish linkage going from the gearlever to the shaft.
    Combined with the 3 piece adjustable bars of an RH, gives a riding position that is 80's superbikish, but still comfortable for the long hauls
