You've done well Davy to balance the bike & make it look like it's meant to be. Imagine if you worked for honda back in the day, the SL350 would've been a massive sellout. Jimson

what a beast. a mate has a very original green model and he has spent some time getting close to all original except a big tree fell on his shed a while ago and flattened the SL tank accross the top tube :-[
much unhappiness....

race day shakedown results... needs stiffer fork springs , a bit weak off idle , handles well , brakes are great and nothing fell off !
