They were ok for bumping around town, but not at 75-80MPH on the Interstate. They would get buffeted by the wind and you could feel it in the steering and sometimes it would cause a noticable shimmy. The first time I felt it I pulled over because I was sure the steering head bearing was coming apart. I just got tired of constantly having to fight it. They made riding more like work than fun and that's when I knew it was time for them to go...

You know, it never occured to me about getting hung up by the sissy bar if you go down...
