Stumbled on this today while searching for a color wiring diagram for 550F's. I like this a lot.

I've been wanting to take a picture of my two beauties side by side for a while now, so I finally tidied up a bit and made it happen.

Thanks. No it's not the most comfy stretch, but I love it anyway! (For a short distance anyway)  ;)  The Thruxton, on the other hand, is actually quite comfortable.
