That is the individual riders responsibility. Cautions are a good thing but lets leave it at that. If I want to stuff a Concours motor in the VN frame I'm not interested in possible center of gravity issues or whether the shocks can handle the extra weight. I'll only be interested in how to do it.

Totally true. Many riders have made questionable modifications to their bike, some knew what they were doing, some didn't. Hopefully all of them at least tested their modification in a fairly safe place, before going out and riding in traffic. Add to that that while a certain modification might be ok for some riders, it could get other riders in trouble. That is what concerns me. That someone will read about someones modification, and decide to do it themselves, and wind up crashing because of it. When I made my brake modification, I tested it extensively before riding in traffic. It has now been proven in over 25,000 miles of riding. With me as the rider. It might very well not be suitable for someone else at all, which is why I specifically went out of my way to say that I do not recommend that anybody else do it. If they still choose to do so, they do so at their own risk. Jerry.

So...what if you want to put motorcross shocks on? Jk. Old people griping makes my day. Thanks for the info though, think I got a little knowledge out of all of that.
