without a doubt it´s the best damn ride i´ve ever owned. have alot of miles on it now and it has never failed me. just a few mods...cam, carb, exhaust, lifters and push rods, the tank is different from stock as is the rear fender and the front has a 7 deg. raked triple tree with 39mm tubes and duel disc brakes(still handles remarkably well). oh yeah it´s lowered abit have about 4 1/2 inches of road clearance. like i said it is the best damn ride i´ve ever owned, and the mileage, well, i´m setting on just over 226,000 with no major repair or overhaul...but then i´m a fanatic when it comes to service...................oil is the key........
