test ride went well...

new swingarm, trapped the engine breather, popped out the kickstart seal, lost an alarming amount of oil, unfortunately the engine survived, so i still can't buy a zs190 :(

And you got oil all over your rear tire and didn't bin it straight into a curb or a ditch. I call that a successful day all around.

If you need assistance with blowing your engine up I can probably arrange that. I know a guy.

Yep, ripped around a hard right, then merged onto dual carrigeway for all of 40 seconds of flatout (bike is to slow to legally travel there) pulled off and when I went to change down it went clack instead of snick, I stopped and looked, lucky is right.

Woah, a drum brake!? What year is that thing?

what's funny is the other end is massivly over braked, 200mm floating disc, radially mounted 4 piston caliper and a radial master cylinder.

On a bike that can do (GPS verified!)
