Hi. Had back problems a few years ago myself. A good few sessions at a chiropractors made such a difference to the back and wallet. def worth getting it looked at professionally. Decent bed also helped. If you chose to also take the porno option suggested previously you could use the bed for sleep and work and prob get tax relief on it as well as personal relief in it. Re bikes, restored a LC a few years ago - great fun and rewarding although a bit expensive. Really enjoyed researching and finding the right bits and transforming it to a nice shiny thing. Did a motorbike mechanic course at night school which gave me the confidence to do the trickier stuff on the LC myself. Now got an xt that I want to transform into cafe racer ish thing at some point. Have lost hours on Pinterest ‘researching’! Some of it was even bike related. Good luck with the back! Andy
An old series one hypermotard 1100 (stocker) not an s....i can safely say theyre relatively easy to pull apart, cheap to buy....pull the engine out, (take it to ducati john) or pull it apart yourself....there are a ton of aftermarket spares available for them. Id then infest the thing in Motogadget hardware...also while the engine is apart - do some top end tuning ( i did ) and it gave me a little bit extra through the range...
Have a look at this site. Has some oddball stuff and sensibility priced. http://www.classichondamotorcycles.co.uk/
