So, please explain the whole Harley thing, could ya? Those are just two thumpers tied (loosely) together that (barely) sing in time with each other.
I had a Kawasaki "thumper" in the UK in my youth (many, MANY years ago now) that was great. It vibrated enough to keep me slim, keep the rain from sticking to the full touring fairing I had, and you knew when it had stalled at the lights. Now if the front caliper hadn't insisted on seizing all the time, I might have kept the beast.
