Classic 500 touring?

Just a quickie here troops.
Absolutely loving my Classic 350 but was wondering if anyone has done decent miles on a 500? Just wondering about overall comfort and vibration levels over distance.
All opinions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I have a 21 classic 500 and even with an extra tooth on the front it's still most comfortable around 85-95kph. It will sit on 100-110kph all day but its tiring. It has a carberry plate fitted to the crank and booster plug to the ecu along with a sport muffler. It will run all day, but my 70+ body will not...lol...

Also...installing a cam to your 350 will give it a bit more torque in the top end and allow it to pull harder. but it wont increase the top speed which is limited by the ecu.

Cheers Beagle, just put the bigger sprocket in yesterday and seems to have a decent effect…massive pain in the ass to install though!
