[QUOTE="'Hog"] It's been said before but the twin shock R100RS has a litany of hassles: Crap forks[/QUOTE] Yup. I modded my '78 model with Progressive springs. [QUOTE] Crap brakes Yup Crap yokes[/QUOTE] Can't say I ever noticed. [QUOTE] Crap wheels[/QUOTE] Ah. I had the optional spoked ones. [QUOTE] Crap wheel bearings[/QUOTE] Yup. Mine blew in the middle of the Daryford Bridge =:O [QUOTE] Crap gearbox[/QUOTE] Yes again. What's that whining sound? Oh, another bearing... [QUOTE] Crap swinging arm[/QUOTE] Mine was OK. [QUOTE] Crap electrics[/QUOTE] Oh yes. Where's the fusebox? Inside the effing headlamp. And where's the headlamp? Inside the effing fairing... Hours of fun. [QUOTE] Crap standard ignition[/QUOTE] Yup. electronic conversion on mine. [QUOTE] Crap handling off a motorway[/QUOTE] Well, with modded forks mine was better...[QUOTE] All it has is a lovely engine, a wonderful fairing and the frames are extremely well painted . (1) Bit like a Bandit12 then! [/QUOTE] Do you see me disagreeing? The monolever ones handle far better - it's just a shame about the missing horsepower, down (IIRC) to 60bhp from 70bhp.
