    Nice bike Arf! Very nice

    Have you kept the original brakes but changed the discs or are they all new brakes?

    Brakes ?
    As far as I know only the discs are changed to Braking discs...

    The bike was built like this when I bought it and I surely would like to get more informations on it from the former owner who did all the work..I got a bunch of receipts from the shop in Austria I bought it from....mostly from AfricanQueens for more than 8000 Euro's in parts...it goes like greased lightning...so I also reccon the engine is modified somewhat...
