funny...i always thought switzerland was a little south of me-famous for chocolate, milk, cheese, yodelling, pocket knives, heidi, matterhorn and fine mountain hemp Mr. Green

tried loading some photos but theyre too big and i have no idea how to reformat them but some of my mods are: progressive fork springs and fork valve, daytona fork brace, sr500 drum brake front, wire spoke wheels with high shoulder alu rims 19"f-18"r, flat bars, rd alternator, batteryless, xj600 swingarm, pamco ign, pod filters, homemade simplified electrics, slimline 1.5 man seat, no e-start, mikesxs 5th gear od, high ratio primary drive gears, heavier clutch with billet body, high vol oil pump, auto cartridge filter, small tail light and small indicators...you have to be careful modifying bikes here as the vehicle inspectors are tough...i have a 750 270° rephase motor ready for installation and am playing with a stroker project at the moment
