Hey gulag,
I'm into the 1300's also. I have two of them. One of the them is an 85 with fuel injection which I still screwing around with. Once I sort out the injection I'm going to turn it into a custom cruiser.

Did you weld up that pipe yourself? How is it on the left turns?

thanks for you warm welcomes

actually, I just bought this bike from England, all of the metal work on the frame and exhaust etc is very well done, but electrics and more is not in good condition.

I started with rewiring most of the bike, took me 1 evening, and am fiddling with the carbs now, just bought new float needles and seats off ebay, and brand new Accel coils too, the exhaust is stainless steel with some kind of racer type mufflers, I still havent heard it run

but soon...

Iceland is a cool place to ride bikes, we still have quite a few dirt roads, unbridged rivers etc. its actually a enduro bikers paradise, we get a lot of french and german tourists here on enduro bikes.

We have 1 major meeting each year, first weekend in July, and we do get quite a few foreigners attending, so if you guys want to visit iceland,, do it.. its well worth it.

Im gonna post on my website what Im doing on the bike, and pictures in the future..
My future modifications include a fat back rim, 10" wide.. installing the Accel's and stretching the front forks 10cm, (4 inches)
