Still not sure about that seat....I know you don't like 'em.
Yep, will be at the Ace and a get together down the Quay would be great.

Actually, that seat don't look too bad....
I know they are bloody comfy (compared to the 2:4), its the tongue bit at the front, licking the tank that annoys me
So what pipe you hoping for/gonna get
Those shox look out of place....... HEY, wait a minute, its your
lucky day, I think I can help
I got a nice clean pair of chrome Hagons, which I'd consider swapping

Thanks chaps
Well....the shox are indeed Rex (up yours Piggy, I only just fitted those)
Mr K hasn't changed his basic shock mounts for 30 odd years cos they bolted straight on with the exception of a 3mm spacer to stop the chain rubbing.
Have put Hagon progressive springs and new oil in the forks, all bearings are either new or good, so with the shox it should ride pretty good.
With regard to the pipe....I want a Piper, not cos they are the best or cos they produce the most horse power, but cos IMO they are the classic period pipe, and.....they sound great....no piggy, i'm not going to chop a foot of it (unless it REALLY looks long when it's fitted !)
Am trying to keep the bike basically standard but with the sort of mods that would have been done back in the day, probably end up with a 2 4 seat I should think (Guy)
Anyway, not finished yet, you know what it's like, might change me mind again in a month or two ?
