The chassis is tight and in good condition too, so handling is nothing like the folklore would claim. 
One of the Australian guys on the triples board had one that he put something like 80,000 miles on... get this... without even changing the top end! He said the pistons were pretty noisy.
Apologies for this latest hijack. |
Glad she still keepin' on. There are many times over the years that I wished I had my ol' 500 back. I only had Denco pipes and Uni filters on mine. You ought to shoot us a picture. After all this is a Kaw website.
Cheers,
Bill
