Thanks! The dry clutch is actually on my list of to-dos, just saving up some cash. The Ducabike cover is temporary I think.
Well you've picked a real pussy cat to reacquaint yourself with the bike world.... Be careful, she's a lively bird the V4S...
i often have the same problem...I put it down to age. Nice bike though, VERY purdy. I am in the "like the clutch" camp. If its not too crass a question, what did it all cost you in the end...and does the wife know?!
So that's about 26,500 sterling. Very reasonable compared to UK, I've carried out a similar project over here. I daren't tot up what it's cost me but I know it's a good chunk more than that.
