Thats really cool. I like the speedometer and tacho!

I like how it looks tidy, but not overly tidy - the slightly tarnished look shows its been used, which is the whole point of bikes :D:D

Exactly, it still goes out with the local club (oldest bike by 40 years) and keeps up with most of them, not on the long straights but through the twisties she holds her own, in fact better than quite a few bikes - she's light and flickable

Straddled to get more in or on the side stand ?

On the sidesatnd, the fuel filler is offset slightly to the left of the tank, if I fill it right up I'll get a petrol wash down on the first sharp left :) so just under the filler cap level on sidestand
