Welcome in, pull up a chair & have a good read through...If it is truly standard get the CCT's & Reg/Rec changed straight away...then you can start on the rest of the mods...suspension front & rear, loud pipes, comfy saddle ect ect Oh & a respray of course... :wink:
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Welcome aboard,
Don't listen to them, leave it standard and enjoy it for what it is :D
Yes do the CCTs, fit a finned Reg Rec, upgrade the front fork springs and thoroughly service the brake callipers, fit new brake hoses and brake pads, use original Honda Nissan pads, you'll be very surprised how good they are, oh you must fit some loud cans, apart from that just leave the thing alone :D or you'll end up like Tony :lol:
Like what you do
Do what you like He who wonders isn't always lost

Cheers guys and thanks for making me feel so welcome, and for all the "advice" LOL. I have no plans for any mods at all, other than the CCT's. The bike is WAY too nice - it really is mint and not even done 7k miles yet, so I am not going to bugger about with it. I've also got a completely original and low mileage '89 Land Rover 90 which is in superb condition so I am a sucker for originality!! :thumbup:
