I've got a 650F (last of the roadsters), a few minor tweaks to the suspension & Z900 bars make a lot of difference, so does the 750 big-bore kit, Megacycle cam & Mikuni VM carbs

All my gear was second hand and buying a pair of gloves or jeans was a major purchase! Fun times though Got a T120v and 900 Thunderbird at mo. -- Last edit: 2017-11-23 16:14:50
