Freebie from CSNL



I say free, but maybe extra is a better description given the price of NOS CL350 cam, chain, sprocket, tensioner, gaskets......

The young lady is of course doing a fine job keeping the C90 in such fine form although I'd question her choice of riding apparel

I will of course delete if viewed as tasteless by the group.

I have extenders fitted on mine. An annoyance, but at least an annoyance with an easy fix.

I think the last bike I owned with usable mirrors out of the box was an MZ 301 Saxon Tour. Sad that an insane dictatorship showed us how to do it (& how to enclose a chain) and we've lost the plot by letting stylists get out of control ☹

About to go away for a few days on the Forza,not an everyday rider,but when I do ride I ride hard,6,500 from new,the front tyre is ok,but the rear has had a harder life,I am pretty confident that my man I use for tyres is genuine,the tyre has worn on the edge when he looked at it,some of the roads I use have shite surfaces,but I’ll go with his findings and will have a new rear fitted,I’ve had various maxi scooters, my style of riding tends to chew up rear tyres,but I do feel good after a ride

6500 miles out of a rear is pretty good - I struggled to get much more than 4000 miles out of either tyre on the Tmax, and Tmax tyres are probably rather more than Forza ones!
I've seen vids from owners who report really good tyre life on the ADV350, so this will make a change for me!

My ADV350 is still good at 6600

Keeping an eye on mine. 4500 from new. I have a European trip in October so really don't want to run out of rubber. I'm approaching a bit of a bottleneck on my ability to keep up though, SuperCub MOT is also October, that will both tyres because the rear Heidenau is past it's best so I'm switching to Michelin and both will need oil changes. Getting the rear off the Forza looks like a lot of work, especially as it will be the first time on Hondasan will have employed gorillas with 10-foot extension bars to do the bolts up ☹

Nothing personal Gentlemen, but a couple of weeks rain in September might be the push I need to sort the lot.

Definitely nicer to look at than a mirror arrangement
