     I live in Toronto, Canada and took up riding again 3 years ago after 15 year hiatus.  Purchased this charmer from friend at work who had stored it in a barn for 6 years.  I've replaced sprockets, chain, tires, some electric bits, steering head bearings. Over this past winter I finally had the motor rebuilt and replaced the top end with 900F cylinders and head.  Also replaced standard handle bars with flat bars and added progressive springs in front forks.  The Koni shocks on rear are add on by previous owner and still good.   Suspension and steering upgrades, and flat bars greatly improved handling .The brakes are stock but anticipate upgrade  when budget allows.  Seat was replaced last year.  I found a nearly new exhaust system on E Bay to replace ratty old 4into1 loud pipe and now I am faced with cosmetics.  She runs nicely on highways (1/4 fairing is a big help) and is big fun in the twisties....really wants to be let off the leash.  I ride her to work daily in the city and weekends roam the hills when time and weather permit.  Break in period will take a while but looking forward to feeling extra power. I plan on keeping it as stock as possible in appearance but paint and decals will have to wait for now.  Riding season has just begun.
