One year (2500 miles) in and I've got it all sorted with new sprag and all. Scored some NOS Givi racks to match the luggage that came with the bike. The P.O. sold the rack for $500 at a gas station. Finally in full dress, just need to remember they're there!
Edit: Break in the Weather and put in another 100 mile day, 250 total so far, and all is well!
Great work!! Perseverance is a winner! Enjoy the ride.
Bern.
Nice! Also, great sale by the P.O. to get rid of that rack for $500. I think I bought mine for €245 new from Hepco and Becker. But that is not Givi. ;)
Time to get on the road. (And share pictures? ;) )

Pix coming today from a ride. The previous owner was in his early 20's so it was an offer he couldn't refuse. I was hesitant to even take the bags since I knew racks were hard to find. There's a full set on ebay for $700 that has been listed for years! I worked out he had probably ridden for free while owning based on the rack sale and what I paid, minus expendables.
Nicely Done!
Interested to see how it goes - and Piccies please!!
