Thanks mate. I have changed her a little over the years - handlebar mounted brake cylinder to replace the standard "under the tank" set up; 1984-on spec. Brembo brakes, twin plug ignition, but otherwise pretty much as you see here.

I've done that too, much better, but I've kept the ATE calipers.

I did think of changing the hopeless rear disc to a drum set up,

But it was simply too much money.

Yours looks fantastic

I have retro-fitted spoke wheels, & I'd forgotten, a rear drum. Collected bits & bobs over the years, so not too pricey. I must get an up to date photo. I don't go far on the old girl nowadays, but after all these years I am rather attached to her.

That red is my favourite colour. If I ever get mine restored I'm tempted to change the colour to the smoke red.

Only 3 twinshocks on the whole site.

I think we need our own section Mr Nimrod.
