Good on yer Lollipop, Ican't wait to get my tank back so I can get out for a good shakedown ride on my little baby, I was footering with her today and found a couple of spots of rust, so out came the rust converter to hopefully stop it, (well it does as I've used it before!) so am going to have a good look over her tomorrow, providing she who must be obeyed lets me!

hi lollypop here,thanks for replying little_dave.yeh you have got to keep up with the washing down of the bike after a ride,or your gunna get furry stuff & rust.you got ta work at it if you use it[the only other way to keep it nice is to keep it in the garage!!!].ride safe,tara for now lollypop.ps.how are you getting on with the heated grips???

Hi Lollypop, I haven't been near my nearest dealer yet, as I'm waiting on a transfer for the tank, and as its the centenary 1903-2003 one, I had to give my vin & engine nos as the have to come from the u.s. of a, so I'm waiting on the word: those heated grips, are they anti-vibration as well as heated? I have a set of heated inner gloves that I use on the MZ as that's my winter bike, but one of them stopped working, so I'll have to get it checked out, it might be just a looose connection, but they are great on a bike without a fairing, but if you have a fairing they tend to get a bit too warm. ;) cheers Dave

hi little_ dave,the heated grips are nostalgic style[traditional old school]they just feel good!!!& like i said before, out of all the stuff on the bike its my best bit of kit,RECOMMENDED!!!!.TARA FOR NOW LOLLYPOP.
