    Just rode it yesterday, so fun. Just pulls and pulls. Not sure I posted these but if a repeat my apologies. Can't get enough of the way it looks. Pics were taken by the tuner's photographer, since then I've put a standard seat on and side cover back on the intake side. I need to get the original photos from him, the first 3 are just screen grabs from Instagram. Last one is from yesterday prior to ride.

      Maybe some 'moving pictures', possibly with sound (turbo sound)? You have a son who can video you zooming by, don't you?

      I could really use this as my two brothers today told me they would make sure I never ride a motorcycle or drive a car again. They don't even want me to attempt to get back on my ten speed English racer. They didn't even want me to come home in May, they wanted me to live in an 'assisted living' facility.

      So let me live a little vicariously through you. Thanks!

            Well, my son took a couple short videos of me riding to the end of the cul-de-sac and back. In shorts and flip flops, no helmet. Don't report me to the fuzz! I am setting a bad example, will do better soon. I want to use his 360 cam that has a chest mount this weekend perhaps. I also may take it to Cars & Coffee. It's got a head gasket leak and puffs a bit of smoke but is fine to ride and I'd rather just enjoy it until I finish my CB750, then will get it sorted.

            Sorry to hear that you are not going to ride Rob.

                      These old bike look so much cleaner without mirrors. Not practical / safe, but it definitely makes photos nicer.

                          I have a 2nd Napoleon bar-end for the throttle side, plus the originals. Napoleons do the job just fine but I'd have to cut through the grip and throttle's plastic sleeve, and I just got a genuine Suzuki one so I'm hesitant to cut it. I have to decide, been waffling. As it is now, having just one bar end mirror, it's not good enough, so sorting this out is the next fix in the line.

                            I've had the Napoleons on mine for ages. The fairing mounted mirrors on the 1150 are mostly useless.
                            No need to cut the throttle tube on mine as the 1150 came with factory bar end weights.

                                EPM - by Arturo Magni of Italy - MV Agusta fame. Pretty rare. Front is magnesium 18x2.5 and very light. Rear is aluminum, 18x3.5. The original owner really did like his top shelf gear.
