Jedz, I am sure you have the ability to deal with whatever might come up with the sporter.
Did you ask current owner if has the original bars? That might help future resale. But it seems current owner is unfamiliar with the changes.

I would probably have went for an overall look like the XLCR, as that one always floated my boat.

79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.

I was suprised to find the cost for the mechanical bits wasn't too bad, but the overall cost was a bit steep, so I shelved it.

So tomorrow at 11AM the deal goes down! I'll have it registered by Tuesday evening... Pretty excited, it will be a cool addition to the heard.
RogerW, thanks for the resources. I intend to go back to mid controls so hoping I could meet someone on a forum that would swap bit...
