    Lights

    Very nice. How do you run all them lights? Big battery in the hack?

        More exciting for the passenger that way.

          Have no problems with standard battery but do not use the spotlights very often

            trees

            Hi Martin,
            nice rig. How does it steer? I swapped in Standard triple trees on my Special to reduce the trail and ease the steering effort.

              Handling

              Fred

              The bike handles very well fitted double strength fork springs that was the only mod needed
