chris, i have an 84 weekender and an 86 syncro westy. The ride is, as far
as i can tell, the same. But i also don't have that pesky vibration that
some syncro owners have. The 84 turns really easy, as opposed to the
syncro.  the 84 has all new boge shocks, where the syncro only has new
ones in front (need rear ones soon).  The shocks were a HUGE improvement
on the handling. It, well, handles now!
