sixdog, that stance looks perfect. I bet it rails nicely. Oh... and what a beauty. Nice.
Well, for my 92 and 95 VFR and 88 Hawk, the Pit Bull has been perfect. The 87... I have a couple standard swingarm stand made by an old local...
There would def be some quality time spent with the Owner's Manual while sitting on the Throne with that bike.
Very cool. Congrats!
At least the last year for the U.S. (1990) it got some upgrades. Wider rear wheel (was already 17") and new front 17" wheel with a normal disc....
