Hi - email this guy --- jamie@daughertymotorsports.com -- he's expert with those old gen 1 bikes. Good luck, MD
If you look at the front tire you will see sort of a saw tooth wear pattern. That is cupping. Its not like right now urgent, but you should be...
Nice 5th gen! I am constantly amazed in how many low mile 5th gens are still out there! Welcome to VFRworld. MD
This is not a knock on anybody or helibars, but as a rider I like to say - that is driffting toward old fart status, I occasionally find it...
