Only mod so far is a change to superbike handle bars and comfy foam grips. Changes are in the works for other stuff....
|
|
Problems:
Number one pipe cracked and was welded by previous owner. Terrible weld job. Will be fixing over winter. The right side baffle is loose and sounds terrible over 3000 rpm. The seat is the 'King and Queen' style seat. Good condition, but not the right seat for this bike. Turn signals aren't working and the rear signals are attached to the brake light housing instead of the frame under the seat. That will have to be changed.

Same coverage but about 30kgs lighter. drilled discs, braided lines and sintered pads improved brakes out of sight!
|
|
Problems:
Cracked left exhaust pipe from centrestand hitting it on severe bump on bend two-up on mountain road. Quick weld job and no more dramas. (I haven't hit that damn bump again either!) Fuse box looks a bit melted too but no shorts yet. Steering head bearings just replaced. bottom race was rusted due to water in headstem! That won't happen again. 2006 - changed wiring harness. No more electrical blues 2013 - fusebox changed to blade type. Refitted original instruments after making adapter loom to suit harness

Comments:
Excellent all round bike. Can run all day with the newies. Only minor gripes are limited range and low gearing but I can live with that. Larger "E" model tank coming shortly. (2004) Tank arrived, just waiting for fuel taps which are different to the Special's. Big tank fitted. It's better than a Wing of similar age. Used as exclusive transport for 6 years. No problems. Fill with fuel. Check tyres & go! Simple as that. Bike has now run up 250,000 Klms under me in 10 years. No rebuilds as yet. Not smoking at all. Changed camchains whenever a bit rattly. Probably didn't really need to, but it's an easy job and cheap insurance.This is number 5. 2013 - 342,000 klms under its belt and still going strong. have sourced all bits required for rebuild as oil consumption is on the way up, though still not smokey. Love this bike!
