Looks far too nice, Gert  :D Time to get it dirty and dusty.

Hey Q, mine isn't dirty but it's certainly dusty! Must be a couple of years since last riding it :o

Nice one Gert. Reckon the SFC is one of the best looking bikes ever designed.
Really should ride mine more often, but the Motodd is way more comfortable!
 
Nice job Gert, she looks superb!  Love the white stickers.
If I'm being picky I'd say she will benefit from the correct front wheel, the thick web looks a bit chunky.
And actually I'm possibly more interested in what you're doing to the workshop, you've got a great place there!
Cheers

Gert, great job, the bike looks fantastic. (bigthumb) Those cast wheel Electronicas are my personal favourite of the SFC series. Can only imagine that riding it must be a stunning experience.

All the best,
Stefan

Hi Steve, I was unsure about the white stickers, they are looking more "flashy" on the orange paint than the black ones. But meanwhile I like the look. The correct front wheel is waiting.
The landlord of my workshop offered me a wall restauration inside, because the plastering is wet and broken. At the moment there is another workshop free in the same backyard, so I can store al my bikes and parts there. In February my friend Horst will rent this workshop for his three Laverda 1200.
Ciao, Gert

... yes it is! It feels like it is is looking - very "racy"!
Ciao, Gert
 
Hi hochkoenig, you are heartily invited to drop by in Vienna for a soundcheck!
SFC brake discs didn'nt have holes. The frontwheel is a thick web wheels and should be a thin web like the rear.
Ciao, Gert

Hey Robber, I can imagine the Motodd would take ready preference when choosing a blaster from the stable - while SFCs look incredible, it's pretty obvious they aren't gonna win any medals in the comfort stakes  :-X

Once I have the SF on the road with the new USD forks and laid-fwd Gazis and everything sorted I reckon I'll have a reasonably roadable and brisk mount - tossing up whether to go an 880 kit now or get it running and upgrade later. I've done some serious touring miles on that bike, so it can only be better with modern running gear.
 
Hi Marnix,
thanks for your compliment! I will keep the silver shocks to recognize my SFC in the crowd. Instead I will change the frontwheel ...
Ciao, Gert
 
Gert-
Still looking for a thin web front wheel? I have a thin web w/ a slight bend on one side-looks repairable. I'll email pics if interested.
Bob-
