If it goes sliding, it'll most likely be on the exhaust (specific exhaust protectors), bars (steering stops)(to protect fingers and also avoid the bars smashing a dent in the tank), engine side covers (frame sliders) and maybe front axle sliders.

FWIW: I found the bike much easier to control when I rearranged the geometry. Lower bars (clip ons), footpegs an inch rear- and up + the seat padding higher and modified to position me forward. Plus lowering the front and raising the rear.

Did you mention brakes? [evil]

Thanks. Will do

I've still got an old Penske triple clicker that I'd like to make work. It's been sitting for a decade so has to be sorted out. Plus a new spring is in order as I'm a bit heavier now. Also looking to get some sliders for when I inevitably chuck it down the road...

evening

My new clock mechanism arrived today.  The original one in the 1969 Czech clock wasn't functional beyond about sixty seconds.

New one is powered by two AA batteries and has a chime produced by a speaker.  It's nice and took ten minutes to set up.

Ex heavy weight racer here  ;D

Same issues regarding suspension, I guess. I have a fantastic Bitubo racing unit and a custom modified ST4s fork. Fantasically much better.

I don't think I've seen frame mounted rearsets. Maybe rearsets from another bike can be welded on?
