Nice. Red, or blue?

I just found that pic on the web. Mine is just like it (blue), except that the decals are gone except for the tank.

The plastic has all been repainted with really good, shiny black. I've looked for replacement decals, and they're gonna be in the $125 neighborhood for a set, it seems.

I'm getting a replacement speedo cable and will need to redo the clutch at some point, since it's starting to slip a bit at 7K+ in 6th. :-/

I rode with friends to the Black Hills a week after I bought it, and it got about 48 MPG when cruising at 70 MPH. It also kept up with the others on newer, bigger bikes in the twisties pretty well, considering.

Oh, and I kept it below 100 MPH for that trip. Runs nicely for its age.

Check out cbdecals.com - they have a kit of EVERY decal that was supposed to be on your bike.

Mine’s missing the nose and tail decals. I’m not sure I’m going to put them back on.
