That's good to know - thanks.
It also came with a color matched, really ugly, bikini fairing - it's going to the dump! I guess someone fancied being a customizer.
The thumbnails are from the sale ad, I'll take some better pics and post them.

Sitting here looking at fresh snow, Spring seems a long way off  :'(

I have the front brake caliper apart to free up the stuck pistons (got lucky here), flush the fluid and replace the pads.
Studying my new manual and making a list of stuff to check.

My wife has approved the blue color, so I'll keep it for now. New tank and side panel decals arrived this week, a new seat-cover is on the way.

Might consider replacing the brake hoses with braided stainless steel lines.

Good point - it's on the list, the hoses appear to be originals.
I don't want to open a 'can of worms' but, after over fifty years of riding, I find that I rarely use the rear brake.

Thanks.

Al
