This looks lovely!

Agreed, looks great. Raising the rear and removing the centre stand would make it look even better IMO, although agreed it must be so useful. Pretty sure when the time comes my next bike will be something retro looking like this.

Err...leave it alone cos it looks awesome. If I had to change stuff, I'd always go for ride improvement side to things.

Being forced up at 5am has its advantages. Me and Hugo7 jrn torqued up the bolts properly - well up to 24nm rather than the speced 28nm. Tbh they felt pretty tight an I'm not sure shock mount bolts on traditional suspension needs that much force.
A slightly better picture. Aesthetically at least, I'm really happy with them. Strikes the right oem look/balance. But proof will be in the riding. Curious to see what raising the height up a bit will do to the feel.
Do want to get rid of the center stand, but it's so fucking useful.
