I think thats an age and mileage thing. Once the originals have worn then the options are many, nice to have fully original but never a deal breaker for me as long as they work. I may have some floaters hanging around gaz, I'll have a rummage when I get back which gives you 4 weeks to sort the deal!

We'll have to be careful here, Poor Oily will be suffering if we go all "twin" on the Forum, espcially when not Bimota related  |

Always had a weather eye open for a nice TL1000 but it's these rattly italian twins keep putting me off 
Ridden just about most of the sports V twins(and a few customs) and just can't see what the big attraction is unless it's just the vibration and noise that does it for you

Same as surfers, its the difference between classic long board and short board. Grace , skill, sweeping lines, corner and exit speed versus, short grabby lines, point and squirt easy peasy , yappy, annoying two a penny etc etc....
