Looks good Brian.

So apparently bought new in 1998 in Brunei then brought back here and put on an age related plate. Service history is all hand written at the NOTE section in the handbook. Loads of info written in the book about suspension settings and stuff, stickers on the forks and rear with settings etc. looks as if it's been well looked after, certainly doesn't seem to be any corrosion from winter use or anything, forks look great, alloy brilliant etc.
Lets see how it turns out

If I was ever going back to a sportsbike it would be that or an 851 - my favourite shape of Ducati. Lose the rim tape though

 

[BeePee]

I like rim tape.
I'll replace it with tally flag rim tape.

Honda XBR500 switches may be the same as the SS

 

[Derek]

I have a LH switch but the indicator button is broken off which is usually the common problem.

 

[cp14bob]

Thats exactly what is wrong Derek indicator switch gone

 

[Derek]

Yes, it seems they all do that.

Make a new switch with Doublebond. Last for ever.
