I am expecting the same, they look good though, if we wanted long distance cruising comfort we'd be riding goldwings [probably, i've never had the experience]

That was indeed me Mark yes, thanks.....and yes the guy that built it was called Jaffa, still has his "private" reg on C** JAF...He was lead engineer at Jaguar and said he'd spent 4 or 5 years building it over time. There are some really nice touches on it that he hand made, rear brake torsion set up being one of them & the Arai horn badge......
He had only done around 200 miles on it when I bought it and there were quite a few niggles that needed sorting....mostly done now though but I still, after 10 months or so, need to fit me new tank so its still tankless at the moment....The biggest feck-up was that for some reason whoever fitted the fuel pipe used larger bore reducing to narrow shite which caused fuel starvation and the MBD TS seized on me which I wasn't best pleased about. I managed to replace that a few months before the TS's ran out so the TS on there now has only done around 50 miles or so, doesn't really get used due to work....

hiya the brake master looks like an old zxr does it work ok(i mean) i though they
were 5/8" bore and i was told vespa and lammys use 12mm. if its ok then i will get
one for mine as i will be using pm double disk setup and they look better than the
standard one
