I own a 08 silverwing. I've put about 5000 miles on her. I've got a bad hip so I had to give up riding my cruiser. No regrets I luv my swing. Still ride with my old buds, who give me know grief since they can'nt outrun me. The oldlady likes it better than the big bike. Seems like a good forum to be apart of.

I've had no problems with her. I put on a givi windshield honda to short. I've rode to Myrtle Beach SC twice 500 miles from my home. I've also rode blueridge pky from begining to end and the skyline also. Numerous miles of wonderful back roads of easter ky, southwest va, eastern tn, and western nc all mountain and curvy roads. I ran into a bunch of bikers out of Canada last year, about 50 miles from my home and they asked me. Do u have any straight roads here? I said the only places straight here is where we park our bikes. The scoot handles well in curves if u watch it with the speed. Alot of 2up riding with ol lady around home. What I mean around home is within 100 mile radias, bike handles well with 2up.

Hey Hoss,

Yeah, changing out that short windshield is just about what everyone does and then it's mirrior extenders off ebay.

All good reasons to enjoy your SilverWing.

Hoss,

Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy it. If you have a lot of curves and twisties you may want to look into the Hyperpro springs. It gives the SWing a much more m/c feel. This is the one thing I think the SWing should have come stock with too.

Keep us informed on how you like your Swing and please become an active member here too.
