I've got a 1200-1500 mile ride planned for the spring (300 miles per day avrg) and wondering if it's time to shop for a new bike.
My 96 shadow 1100 will be laden with me and my girl. That's about 400 lbs geared up plus bags. We intend to travel light and will be staying in hotels.
We will be climbing Mt Washington at some point as well.
Bike has 8k miles on it- and will need new rubber and beefier front springs as a minimum.
Aside from that any issues to anticipate with the clutch?
What about carbs at those altitudes? The exhaust was given the hole saw mod and I enriched the carb mixture screws.
