I'll start a build thread soon, still getting my head around this behemoth. Was only thinking in terms of using a 500cc tug. Not a 130mph intergalatic cruiser.
But hey

You get what you need "

Why wouldn't you want an intergalactic cruiser that reminds you of Rolling Stone's lyrics? :)
 
Picked this up over the weekend to use back and forth to work and throw a set of bags on and head out for a day or more .....

Oh man, I wanted one of those when they were new that I could just about taste it. Couldn't quite talk it into the budget with the little woman (I was either still in college, or just out). Have always loved the lines of that sickle.
 
My wife got me this for fathers day:

It's a Hennesy Hammock. From what I've read online people love them.
 
Just checked the Hennessy website - they look the business for travelling light!

If I can figure out a method for hanging one without two conveniently spaced trees I will definitely get one.

You would be surprised Stroker - there is an entire forum dedicated to hammock camping (hammockforum.com I think?). When I first got mine, I hooked it up to the one tree on my property and a cargo tie-down in the bed of my truck. I've seen a pic of a hammock tied down to one tree, going over top of a set of handlebars, and anchored into the ground with a stake.
 
I've got a Hennessy ......... Bloody brilliant, best nights sleep going. Especially good if you put a sheepskin rug under you to keep your heat in. Have slept in it in the worst weather. A most excellent purchase.

Not the softness I'm worried about; that is to be expected. It's that they are squeaking and binding. the rear has a lot of bind to it, so they will definitely need replacing. If I can get the front to free up some more and stop squeaking, then it will remain original. Good tip on the recess. My dad knows these bikes really well; he learned to ride on one and it a c70 was his first bike. It was awesome to watch how quickly he shifted it into neutral; he commented on how natural it felt despite the fact that he hasn't ridden a cub for over 25 years.

The squeaking is springs rubbing on covers, just dismantle, clean and grease
Probably a good idea to clean fork links and re-grease them as well, they usually start squeaking about 2~3 yrs old so any grease that was in there will probably be rock hard by now

Second year was a fantastic sport tourer (problem with second gear on first year)
If I was doing a lot of miles I would have one in a heartbeat (or the 1200)
Fastest I've ever been on a bike was a modified FJ1100 (around 165)
Friend of mine had one and managed to get 80mpg out of it on runs (never went over 80mph though)
He was also getting about 12,000 miles from rear tyre
Still needed tyre every 6~8 weeks, he did a LOT of miles
