Wow that is one seriously good looking bike! B)

I'd love to go to Iceland, bet the northern lights are fantastic 'live' and I've heard the Reykjavik runtur is pretty hard core.

Did you make the seat yourself? I want one the same!

Thanks, A friend of mine built the seat.Its missing the mirrors they will this week.

the northem lights will start around November they are beautiful.

I have a problem at the moment with the engine i hear at idle a clank,clank i hear could be the carburetors.

The problem Iceland is a small country and not many motorbike mechanics they are about only 4 with more experenc and 1 doest know the other says is the chain another says i need a new engine and here in KZrider they say is the carburetors.:)

and here they are every expensice they tols me would cost around 3,000 usd to fix.

Does the noise go away as the revs rise and is the tick over very uneven? If yes to both, I'd definitely try balancing the carbs following an oil and filter change.

Good luck!
