I am not sure I can follow. Is the thread in the hub stripped? Are all the screws loose? I am still on the first set of brakes discs at 182000km, so I am intrigued by this.

My discs are loose too Shrek, aside from the fact they rattle like a bastard it doesn't really bother me.

Have we talked about this before? I like this.
The only thing I'd change is make the screen a tad less angled/narrowed/you know what I mean. I reckon it is pretty spot on if they wanted to replicate the 90S in today's language

Nice. The screen needs to be slightly taller, and the tail slightly longer. The body work is just too short for the wheel base.

exactly what I was thinking. can't stand that short tail section look. Needs to end at the back of the back wheel.

Saw a café style (with fairing) Vincent in town yesterday, dunno what the frame was but it sure looked and sounded nice.

Also saw Padmei.

The 90S was a still a practical bike, this isn't. But then again, all bikes were like that then. Unfortunately, I don't think I could live with the ergonomics of something like that.
