Vincent, to be comfortable at 50 mph and higher I found some things need to be right,
1 steering with no play.
2 good shocks (mine are original fixed up)
3 good spring shackles
4 good tyres,(mine are stock 55x17 cross plys.
All these make it easy to travel with the traffic ,steer ,be looking at something in a paddock on the side ,hit a bump in the road and stay going straight. even if you are towing a caravan.
