The speedo rubbers shot as well. Nothing like emulsified oil to finish a gearbox off.

How about this one?

How about this one?

Those exhausts look wrong and the cast wheels just don't work for me.

 

[Mav]

I have cast wheels on my mono...

I would've put more up right handlebars on, and would've kept the more forward foot pegs...

 

[Rob Farmer]

Now this is more like it

It's a twin shock though

 

[Rob Farmer]

I'm liking this look for a Mono

or the single seat look

I like that..really I do. I guess that silver bar is the frame brace? So does it make the bike handle differently ? (Ive never ridden one see..)

Yep...I like that..really I do

I like the look of the tyres.
What is it like riding on those tyres in the wet?

Only had the tyres fitted yesterday, so still bedding them in. Lowered tyre pressures to 25F 26R and put rear shocks onto lowest setting...absolutely superb handling ( TKC80's were absolute crap on my Wilburs shocked R100GS para though ) Bike built for cruising and rallies

The frame bar strengthens the cradle frame ( makes it into a strong box section) and is welded to the frame and is aircraft strength alloy. Rather than weld webbing/other structures to the headstock etc this was an eighties version to improve the handling developed by the Merkins
