    Make sure you keep the stock exhaust. They're tough to find. Check at the lowest point of the exhaust for small pin holes. They are there to let condensation drain out. Make sure they're clean and maybe something like WD40 down the pipes to help displace water.
    They were a nice bike in their day. Lighter than most others in the same class. I've been keeping my eyes open for one in my area.
    Time for a rear tire too. Nice bike.

    the rear tire is fine its just the angle and the light that makes it seem like the tire is low. what it really needs is new rear brakes
