Rear carriers Both Ventura and 'Hepco & Becker' still list rear carrier racks for this machine. I chose the Ventura luggage system. The fit is very accurate and may cause the seat not to open fully if a pattern seat is fitted (measure against the genuine seat first). It only took 5 minutes to fit, looks tidy and you don't have to move the indicators. These are now a special order for this model so, allow 6-8 weeks delivery. I bought the H009/S L-brackets, PF11/S Pack rack and the SR11/S Sport rack for maximum versatility.
WARNING: These racks are for very light loads only (<20lbs) and not suitable for a top box.
Engine bars are however discontinued and hard to source. I found a rusting pair for a tenner and had them rechromed for £45.
Electronic ignition is available and popular. Newtronic (formerly Piranah), Dyna S and Boyer Bransden all have systems for this machine. My prefered choice would be the Dyna S as it is self contained behind the points cover (i.e. no black box to find a home for). I have so far resisted temptation, contact points have never let me down over 35,000 miles and likely never will. Cost maybe one consideration, a pair of ND points and condensors now over £30!!! every 6,000 miles, but an electronic ignition failure is a ride home in a recovery vehicle, you choose.
