I have not tried to get the bike "concourse" i just wanted it tidy to ride,There is some iffy paint work but not bad enough for me to bother this year.Passed the MOT with an advisory on the rear tyre some side wall issue due to it being stood so long in one spot.... National tyres Barnsley for a new one on Wednesday..£105 most expensive part i have had to buy, the whole project has come in at under a Grand($1500ish) so i am quids in on this one.
It rides like a dream had a blast back up the motorway from Barnsley smooth as silk and very comfortable seat,you can barely hear the engine above 40mph just need to sort a minor issue with the side stand which has been bent putting the bike at a worrying angle when you use it.
