Another northerner! Where you based?
Hi from Cumbria!
Hello all!
been after one of these for a while - loved the retro look and the riding position. So i chopped my Yamaha Bulldog in for a lovely low mileage 60th Anniversary!
I have a few plans - to make it look more retro, I'm going to remove the ERMAX fairing, change the side panels and rear hugger.
also Plan on doing some travelling, so going to get a full set of panniers that look in keeping with the style.
cheers!

you?
already took off the headlight screen. I think I want to sell all of the ERMAX stuff, it's just not for me. Anyone have a small flyscreen/number board?
Dying to ride it! I've promised myself I'm not riding til all of the salt has disappeared from the roads, however...

Very nice! lovely colour. Yeah I'm not too keen on some of the ad-ons either. Each to their own though, obviously someone liked them. I've not long bought mine. Been out 3-4 times so far only short 30 mile runouts but really loving this bike. Plenty of smiles
Not sure how much I'm going to do to mine as I really like the bike as it is. The grey exhaust is the only real concern for me. However just ordered a black grill and my mate is going to powder coat the sides for me
lets hope the salt disappears soon

removed fairing - much happier with the look.
I couldnt resist - took it out for a ride the other night, since it was dry and clean on the roads! I was very impressed and happy with my decision - lovely thing to ride
fitted rear rack that came with it - I kinda like the way it looks, but we'll see. until I get some panniers it might be really useful. I also have a 45 litre givi topbox with it, but obviously it doesn't look good at all!
zupatum - I know what you mean - there's too much dive under braking, so i may get a spring upgrade kit for the forks at some point.
