Hey, Jase.
A good original one, but the high level pipes always look tidy on these bikes.
Welcome in
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Thanks Mate. Yes the previous owner had it from new and has really looked after it. Genuine 19000 kms on the clock.
Only trouble is that it hasn't stopped raining here since I bought it :roll:

We had rain for what felt like five months with the odd dry day thrown in now and again. As soon as Lock-down started we have had weeks of sunny weather :crazy:
Hope it gets better for you soon,

Please contact me if you require any help.
Cheers
