i only stopped twice on the way home


it is a fairly clean honest  bike
a couple of marks here and there
i do like it although im not a   fan of the standard bars though
it had new brake pads and tyres fitted and was also serviced prior to me picking it up

the only job done i have  so far is
balance the carbs(they were out a bit)
lowered the yokes


new bits on the way include


renthal bars (758-01-bk)
new pazzo style levers
15 tooth front  sprocket


im also on the hunt for a slip on and air filter


also going to check the exup valve and just give it a going over


i would like to ivanise it also
