the first bit has just fallen off....
only an indicator lens but it's the right hand side and I NEVER turn left!!! 
It was my first run on the bim since getting back of me hols.. maybe it's its way of telling me it's missed me (we're bonding quick!)

it's getting good... I've fiddled with the settings and it feels like it's almost where I want it now...
I love the high speed stability and the vibes don't bother me anymore but I might get it turning in a little bit quicker..
Can't believe how good it is handling-wise... made in '94!!!
it's a keeper!!!!

try a 70 profile front but you have to space the mudgard up a bit

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't that just make the overall diameter bigger and slow the steering down, which of course is counter productive?

It's a more "pointier" profile the bike should drop into the bend faster.
