Yep looks fine, I can't find out exactly what battery (amp hr) is supposed to be on there as it doesn't state this in either the handbook or workshop manual but I have an 11 amp hr one just like that on mine and it's fine

the original bike in this thread looked pretty good to me, but I am not a lightweight man (true both of bike and physic) however is there a warning in the advert which says it is good for "a first furore into the classic motorcycle scene." ? Cambridge dictionary definition of furore " sudden excited or angry reaction to something by a lot of people"

Guess it should say "....for a first foray into the classic motorcycle scene............"

'Course it could be the new owner's first millstone, ahem, milestone as well, too, also, innit.
