Hi Craig,
Thanks, I'd already found both of those links and even posted a 'wanted' ad on the Mil annuncios.com site, asking for a seller who would be prepared to sell to the UK, but there were no takers, which was a shame, as there are some great Forza 350's for sale there. In an earlier life I would have taken a van down for a holiday, but my enthusiasm for adventure has waned with the passage of time. The problem for me with buying used spares from Spain is that I have very little Spanish, and the only practical method of dealing is with PayPal, the acceptance of which seems rare in Spain.
I am a little worried about the durability of the Spanish clocks as there are a lot of owner's reports of the clocks not working, and both of mine appear to be kaput, although it could be due to the cables - I haven't got the bike home yet, so I'm not sure.The plan is not to restore the bike, but to get it into decent running condition and see how I get on with it. I've owned three little Ducs in the past and missed having one in the garage and the Strada looks a pretty sensible version - higher, comfy seat and a decent riding position for country lanes.
I would love pdfs of the books, if you get the time to sort it, thank you.
