I prefer older look, one of the best looking bikes. White mori belly pan makes things "heavier".

Looking good Lloydie 8)
I haven't seen Jota style bars like that for years, I never knew you could still get them.
I don't suppose it's flex in those bars (at the joints) that's causing your front end wobble :?: Oh Matron :lol:
