                I've had a few of those. The one we have in our garage right now is technically my wifes though. I need to get around to taking some proper pics of her. It's come a ways since this pick.

                The beauty of those things is that you just have to flog them, and they love it and ask for more.

                They are getting harder and harder to find.

                How's the camchain? Rattly?

                ARRH Don't mind me, that's just the scurvy talkin!

                  What's the fix for that? My friend has a REALLY loud camchain rattle and needs to fix it ASAP.

                    No Cam Chain rattle noted. Thanks for the info. Glad to know other have them.

                    I will most likely be selling it if I can't talk my wife into keeping it.

                    Oh and Doug, Clubman bars are on order.

                      Cam chain rattle can be bad! It indicates that the chain has not been adjusted for along time. When that happens, and this happened to me with a 360T (twin), the loose chain wears because it is hitting the engine case. I bought this bike and on the first ride the cam chain broke, which let the valves stop, which led to the pistons hitting and bending them. Bad and expensive to fix. On engines with cam chains make sure you adjust them periodically if they don't do it themselves (consult the manual).
