  Minnesota guy. Old dude. 4th year riding. It was a divorce thing...
  
  1984 Honda Shadow 700 (yeah... I know)
  
  2001 Honda Shadow Saber. 
  
  2010 Triumph Thunderbird ABS. 
  
  Still rebuilding the 84 with all the usual problems. Picking up the Saber on 8/17 and I've been going through TJ's YT videos looking for tips/tricks. Supposedly has a bad rear tire that causes a lot of shake at highway speeds. Supposedly, dealership has checked front forks and head bearings. Cobra exhaust and dealer carb jets installed. Possibly upgrading to velocity stacks and a re-jet. Currently shopping for tires. Have a Rabaconda that works a treat for what I use it for.

  @Aron3Point0 hahahah the 700 ( you know) LOL 
  check the swingarm bearings on that sabre. getting a scissor or flat jack under the bike can help take weight off parts so you can shake and move them. id unbolt the bottom shock bolts so the swingarm is free and try and twist it and move it to see if the retaining shaft has any slop. rear wheel bearings could be bad too, could be missing a wheel weight, but take your time and im sure youll find whats going on! 
  if you can find em, kenda makes really affordable and well performing tires!!
