Looking good mate, let me guess. Bars and screen? You obviously remembered the starting sequence, fast idle on, cold fuel map selected, ride for a bit select hot map....Don't forget though reset the trip every time you fill him up and look for fuel at around 250 kms. The fuel light is there to tell you you're too late.... :icon_no:

He does look well though for a one careful owner bike, the other owner..... well words fail me. :)

slight peg shift and or gear lever movement to sort,
and my shifting too quick for the TRE so I've Got to brave going into the menu on that, then screen, poss bars although a slight adjustment of them may do, got a proper givi top box plate but can't use your holes so I've Got to sort that at some point before the gorgeous one feels comfy on the back too :-)
Anl ill probably raise the forks again for clearance and to calm its steering down a bit :-)
got a damper but I'd rather not, and reckon raising them will sort it out
just feels a bit skittish, especially on white lines
and been flat out busy so not got far, was hoping to do some today but a TShirt run took over lol
be good to catch up
what was front and rear you used eventually, F3?
are discs on it the original Cagiva ones or did they get ditched?
I am going to polish the original rims and put them back on again in time

Yes they are the Cagiva discs, though Cagiva used the same front discs as the VFR 750 and early 800's. The rear CBR discs are smaller than the Navigator.

A catch up would be good if we get a break in the weather and the salt has been washed away. :icon_no:
