I dont know what your shock mount looks like...but you should be able to add spacers such as large washers. It's cheap and it works. I know someone who did this to a Superhawk with good results.

I hope this continues to be the only one.

This is an interesting point that shouldn't be glossed over. There are more layers than just extremist vs non extremist. Within non extremists they are sympathizers. How many? It's impossible to know, they don't exactly advertise. Consider this example... Pakistan is over 95% Muslim. Officially, the Pakastani gov't and military were opposed to Al Qaeda and Bin Laden. Remember, they were even helping in the hunt for Bin Laden. But fast forward and where was he found? Abbottabad. The military neighborhood where the upper echelon of Pakistani military officers live that borders the Pakistan Military Academy, their equivalent of West Point. I don't consider the Pakastani military to be an extremist group, but I don't think they are strongly opposed to them either. Why? You are welcome to speculate. How do you think Bin Laden came to have a safe house in the middle of the military brass that were looking for him? There were several theories... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_support_system_in_Pakistan_for_Osama_bin_Laden

Jinu, I am not going to dissect your whole post, but I am going to disagree with you. I am not concerned with all Muslims. At the moment I am concerned with ISIS. They (not me) claim that they are following Muhammed. The pieces I quoted are fundamental to ISIS' tactics (feel free to do your own research) The path they are going down is a dangerous one. They have been successful at recruiting moderate Muslims to join their cause. I disagree with their politics, which has the same goals as their religion. Their ideology is not something that I will pretend to agree with for even a second.

The picture was supposed to mean nail on the head. Maybe I picked the wrong one.

You said American soil. Hitler never attacked American soil. Feel free to keep grasping at straws though. btw, none of Hitler's actions were motivated by Christianity. He was a madman that was preoccupied with creating the Aryan race.

That's been a saying in the Marines since Christ was a Corporal.

The 2 biggest attacks on US soil were Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

Overall a pretty poorly thought out post. You obviously have a bone to pick with Christianity. It's easy enough to poke holes in every religion. But you should be smart enough to understand that not all religions are created equal. Some ideologies are more harmful than others. For your knowledge, no I am not a Christian. NO. The Bible does not legitimize rape or sex slaves. There are stories of war and killing in the Bible, but they are not carried out the most recognizable religious figure, nor the #1 prophet. That is a MAJOR difference that you seem happy to ignore. Yes, there have been harmful acts carried out under the name of every religion. But we aren't talking about some insignificant religious figure, we are talking about the life of Muhammed, the man so perfect in Islam to depict his image means death. The model for Islamic men. I am not interested on Bronze Age carnage nor the Crusades. They are irrelevant. I am interested in today. Muhammed believed it was OK to rape women of his enemies. Do modern Islamists do that? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/world/middleeast/isis-enshrines-a-theology-of-rape.html?_r=0 Muhammed kept sex slaves. Do modern Islamists do that? http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/10/23/isis-rapes-women-toward-allah/ Muhummad ordered & participated in beheadings. Do modern Islamists do that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISIL_beheading_incidents I could go on. Certainly the majority of Muslims don't carry out these acts, but some do. And they claim to be following the way of the prophet...and they are. How many Christians do you know that, in 2015, claim to be following teachings to commit Bronze Age violence?

So I was reading up on Islam. Some of what I found is not what you'd expect from a religious text. According to the writings of Islam, the prophet Muhammed was a warlord, a killer, and a rapist. He ordered mass killings and kept slaves including sex slaves. Where are these obscure writings you ask? Well they're right in the Quran. There are stories of atrocities, and other things that could only be described as criminal even during times of war. Now, I don't claim to be an expert on Islam and haven't read the entire Quran, so can someone tell me how this is a religion of peace? https://www.facebook.com/notes/knowledge-is-power/in-islams-own-writings-muhammads-massacres-and-sex-slaves/523705024374034(There are plenty of other sources if you don't like this one.)

I thought their food was mediocre at best and overpriced.

I am waiting for Obama to put the "full weight of his office" behind gun control in the middle east. That should solve just about everything.

I was trying to verify some comments from that video. This religion of peace is sounding a lot less peaceful. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/025-muhammads-sex-life.htm Although the Qur'an didn't appear to have enough space for topics like universal love and brotherhood (which Muslims sometimes insist are there, but aren't), the list of sexual partners that Muhammad was entitled to is detailed more than once, sometimes in categories and sometimes in reference to specific persons (ie. Zaynab and Mary). Muhammad was married to thirteen women, including eleven at one time. He relegated them to either consecutive days or (according to some accounts) all in one night. He had sex with a 9-year-old girl and married his adopted son's wife (after arranging a quick divorce). On top of that, Muhammad had a multitude of slave girls and concubines with whom he had sex - sometimes on the very days in which they had watched their husbands and fathers die at the hands of his army. So, by any realistic measure, the creator of the world's most sexually restrictive religion was also one of the most sexually indulgent characters in history.

Also describing Mohammed as a "Warlord that owned sex slaves" doesn't give much credibility to the argument that Islam is a "Religion of Peace." I'll try to watch the rest when I have time.

^^ The Gladius motor was an improvement over the 1st or 2nd SV. Peak power wasn't that different, but the power delivery was much improved.

I watched the first half. Interesting point about no separation of church/state in Islam...political and religious goals are identical. He makes Islamists sound like a violent cult that never made it out of the middle ages.

The frame looks a lot like the Gladius frame. The styling looks similar to the 2003 SV650.

Certainly. Thousands of European ISIS sympathizers have gone to Syria to join ISIS. Some have returned to their home countries, or other countries to plot acts of terrorism. It is easier for them to operate under the false identity of a refugee. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29372494 Is there someone specific to your question?

Buy in the fall. Ride for a year, then sell the next spring. It's an easy way to try a number of different motorcycles while making a bit of $$ on the side. I've had something like 25 or 30 motorcycles. The only ones I've lost money on were 3 that I bought new.

Weather they're refugees or posing as refugees is academic. The point is it's an easy way to gain entry into a country with little if any way to validate the information provided. You don't think ISIS is aware of this?!? 27 governors agree. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34839187

I would rather feed them in Syria than feed them here. I agree that I wouldn't arm them. Sides change frequently over there and sooner or later those guns would be pointed at us. That's yet another reason why they shouldn't be here. They have ZERO loyalty to the USA.

Who took in US citizens during our civil war? If these people aren't willing to fight for their own country, then why would we want them in ours?

I don't think many middle eastern immigrants fit this description
