I bought her from the original owner about 20 years ago. She already had a set of Keihin FCR's and an aluminum flywheel, I did the full exhaust, Ohlins, and forged alum wheels. The wheels made for an amazing transformation as they dropped 11 lbs of unsprung weight off an already light motorcycle.
If you have the inclination and have not ridden one of the carbed SS bikes of this era (1991-98) you owe it to yourself to do so. They are not powerhouses by any means, its all in the balance and they are wonderfully balanced machines - light, narrow and lithe with the raw mechanical feel that's missing from most modern bikes.
Yes service records are a must on the rubber cam belt bikes.
I love the SC line, I was looking hard at the 1000S when it first came out. I did not like the spoke wheels and they are very heavy so a mandatory wheel swap was in order. In addition I could not get comfortable sitting on the bike. The muffler mount/pax peg bracket caused my heels to splay out awkwardly when riding so I quickly lost interest...
Looking back......I shoulda pulled the trigger regardless

It sold very quickly, and I'm sure that was a big reason.
