Harvey-Bailey Shad 2 - Should I?
Discussion
Does anyone have experience of fitting a H-B engineering springs dampers and rollbars conversion to a Shad 2?
Having recently taken the plunge with a 1978 Shadow 2 that needs a "little work" shall we say.....all the dampers are shot and so I am in the happy position of needing to replace them.
The very reputable outfit that is working on her recommends Bilstein dampers....but I wanted to go the full Harvey-Bailey route with springs and rollbars too. They tell me however that for some people, the H-B conversion takes some of the charm out of the drive and therefore I may wish to try just new dampers first...then perhaps the rollbars and take it one step at a time.
Everything I read about the HB conversion is positive but I am inclined to listen to guys who work on Shads day in and day out...they can do whatever I want but I tend to trust the experience of a marque expert.
So...has anyone got views on what I should do? I would be most grateful...
