It was a lot of effort/worry getting the boxes from Japan to me.
And then a lot more time and $$$ getting it all together into a bike I could ride with no worries.....
.....except maybe leaning too much and scraping my knees :shock:
After spending all the money on the bike, none left for sliders? Use duct tape and an old baking tray strapped to each knee. The sparks will look cool! :lol:

A basic end to this chapter of the story here...
Well, I never made sparks with my knees, but I have had a chance to enjoy the VJ23 a little this year.
Sadly I have only put about 200 kilometers on it this season, as I had to give several other bikes attention as well.
Completely dialed in now with the Zeel ignition, fully unrestricted, with no issues of any kind throughout the rev range.
I do have new lower water hose, clutch plates and clutch springs on the way yet.
Figured i should get them while they are still available in Japan, to help keep peace of mind through my time of use/abuse.
Before factory parts availability disappear forever....

Keeping a small piece of history alive, and wishing I could take it to vintage bike shows for other strokers to enjoy....
It's too new for show organizers to allow in though
