Alexandra to Hamilton with something different on the way

I'll be able to answer that question after I get a few thousand Kms on it. So far it rides well. Three mods I can see needing in the future are:

A better seat, This one is OK for around 4 or 5 hours but needs something a bit wider for all day riding. There is a seat recovering kit available which includes thicker and wider foam, so its obviously a known issue among long distance riders;

Either 1 tooth up on the engine sprocket or 2 - 3 teeth down on the rear sprocket. This bike has torque to spare and can easily handle slightly higher gearing. It will also make the speedo more accurate;

A laminar lip for the screen or a larger screen with an uptilt. The airflow with the curent screen hits me too low in the chest and should be up about 10 cm.

I like the seat on mine but its a K1 Oil boiler. So maybe they are different.

Mines down one tooth on the front. It rips your arms off in any gear.

Agree on the laminar tip. Ive been reading on NSW Bandits about making your own. Mine hits me in just the wrong place. But it seams to be spilling around the sides not over the top.
