Story of the motorcycle tuning

*I have a 1997 m750; but it wasn't an option, so I went with the closest pick ...

In July 2009, with almost 50k on the clock, I got T-boned by some dumb cager in a Hyundai. I walked away from it, but he totaled the bike. I bought it back, and rebuilt it - changing some of the things I wanted to change (exchanging the digital tach for an analog unit, etc) and building upon the platform that I've been riding since mid-2000.
