I'm a new owner, about 3 weeks now. A lot of people put a small fairing or even a windshield if they ride on highways quite a bit. But as far as a "must have" I can't think of any one thing.
I think we all like the bike just fine, altho that doesn't stop us from farkeling it out anyway.
Thanks, and what I read is good. I just called a friend of mine who is into the older Honda stuff, told him of my plan, and he responded enthusiastically until I mentioned the 8k mile interval on the valves, AND the fact that it's the "shim under bucket" style of adjustment.

I'd rather just turn a screw/nut and then lock it in.
And, I don't like turning or wrenching anything.

But it's such a sweet bike. I want it.
Oh Honda, why would you do this? I don't have much money at all, yet you want me to take half the head apart to make an adjustment. Why? Why?
(and every 8K miles at that!).
