Thanks all im from england by the way thanks for the warm welcome, proressive it will be and has been as ive just finished restoring this beast to its former glory went right through it chrome powder coats new wiring refurbished the wheels new bike basicly and first time out covered over 2420 miles in 5 days travelling north from pattaya to chang mai then down to kho chang some of the roads through the mountains are listed as being up there with the top 10 best on the planet and i agree, it was easy that thing just devowers the road and never missed a beat..hastin to say just that rear end gets a little unsettled..cant wait to grab a pair of those dampers to iron the pace out, when i changed the front dust and oil seal i put heavier oil in there dont think it made much difference i guess the **** weight of the thing makes it bog in i can cope with that as you dont need much on the front that back brake is the nuts....best bike to date love ittttttt
