Well after quite a few different bikes and 6 - 675's I've gone and got myself another red 97 TL1000s.
I havent stopped playing with it (the bike) since I got her home.
Had my first decent ride on her the other day with some of the lads Brilliant. Bit of a shake down and showed me that I will have to do a bit of relearning and also that locktight will once again be my friend.
It has a full yoshi two into one system, Bitubo rear suspension, rear height adjuster and a few other things done to her.
She's not perfect and I'm gonna enjoy doing a few things to her.
Too cool that TL. I have just reassembled mine after it being in 10,000 bits for the last 10 months , its running strong but I am still chasing electrical gremlins , poor thing ( well bits of it ) has done 136,000kms ! so I forgive it a couple of niggles.
Why are all the good ones gone in a heart beat yet the vermin and scum seemingly live forever?

She has a TRE on board and the chap I got it off said that they tuned it with a yoshi box. It doesn't back fire or over run so I think that it has been done. However, I would be very interested to have a look and a fiddle for sure. Is the box quite basic to use?
Basic as mate,best of all if you overdo the settings and it runs like shit you can just 0 it and take it back to OEM.

I'll sot the electrical gremlins out if you give me the car?

That sound brilliant.
Whats your opinion on running the TL without the steering damper. It feels pretty good without it as I've set the suspension pretty well. It's such a clumsy and clutted set up that if I can ride confidently and the way I like to with out it I will leave it off.
I left it on for my other TL's as they were running the rotary damper and stick.
Old thing has been hanging around for about 16 yrs now , got it when they were not worth too much. Did not know at the time it was a low production car ( 2900 approx built ) , I just got it because it was a big block Mopar.
We stripped it back to bare metal at the time , rebuilt the 440 etc. only change from stock is it now runs a Kiesler Engineering ,Tremec TKO600 5 speed .. a whole lot of fun

You wouldn't like it , rear tyres only last 3000kms . i can't figure out why ? diff must be shot
3000km!!! fuck..I'm loving this car more and more!!.. I only used to get 70k out of a set of tyres when racing or at the track!!!!! [want to compare fuel consumption...you'll be surprised!!]
