    Finally the Bol D'or is back

    Its Taken longer than expected but I think the wait has been worth it

    As for the money spent well lets just say I have had fun spending it and I am now looking at the next bike inline for an upgrade

    But the work done has been

    Speedo has had triprod replace and tripmeter repaired...
    speed sensor light now come's on at 110kph rather than at 80 as it use too...
    New seals in the hydrollic clutch and rocker cover, and broken stud replace
    12v cigi lighter plug installed behind sidecover and large clock on the dash(so I can feel like captain concours aka meanie)
    New rack made up for top box and pannier cages fitted(yes the panniers are ex M.O.T of a XJ750) and I can remove the panniers and top box as one unit by undoing 4 bolts
    everything painted except the tank and new decals on all the plastics
    everything that needed rechroming was
    And lastly a second seat sorced and recovered and increasing the seat height by 25mm(seat in photo's is orignal seat not the new seat)

    Just rode from Wanganui to Wgtn and the new seat has made a huge difference where-as before after an hour my arse was so sore I had no choice but too stop now its a non-stop comfortable ride

    Pretty sharp resto the mirrors should be black though.
    Be meticulous with service intervals though & keep good oil in it I had one identical (87 F2F Bol'dor) and the primary chain right in the guts of the motor let go one total rebuild later it was a magic bike...one very competent all rounder
