          @WhiskeySandwich if you want to feel your intervertebral disc too 😂
          I love hardtails but comfort is questionable at best haha.

            @WhiskeySandwich I had a Springer that allowed me to feel pretty connected to the asphalt. Loved that bike but after about 350 miles in a day,I was definitely looking forward to getting off. Still probably like a couch compared to the Hardtail.

              I’ve never really been sofa surfing long enough to appreciate the cush, but if you do it right, hardtail can be hella comfy. Do we ride bikes for comfort, or the raw feel of the road? Which matters more? Laying down miles, or making every mile as fun as possible? It’s always a trade off.

                But I have never ridden a comfortable hardtail (and never owned one). But totally agree with the feel for the road and yes it’s a trade off.

                  @WhiskeySandwich I always chose Fun over Comfort,except for one time and I ended up hating that bike. Felt like I was always fighting with it. It was a Yamaha Roadliner.

                            I just picked up this project from my buddy. 1977 Yamaha XS400. He was turning it into a cafe racer, but I’m going to pivot and make it into a scrambler with the hopes that I can bring it camping. This is my first build so it will be a journey of learning + mistakes + fun. If you’ve done something similar please share any suggestions.

                                @Inorganic nice!!! Have fun with it and take your time! With old builds, research takes most of my time, and double checking everything. Enjoy dude! Keep us posted as it progresses!

                                        That does look like a ton of fun.

                                        The journey is the objective.

                                          Anyone in here have experience with rebuilds and using Moto gadget gear? I’m specifically thinking of using their mo unit blue & flashers. The prior owner removed the wiring loom and instead of reverse engineering his steps it seems easier, perhaps foolishly, to start afresh.

                                            they have the whole suite. I haven't looked at them, but was looking at upgrades like the handle bar indicators
