Hi,
Just joined the site. I have a 1995 Skorpion tour which I bought a couple of years ago and mainly use during the winter. It only has 16,000kms on it.
My wife has just passed her test and wants to use the bike but her hands are too small to operate the brake lever. I was thinking of using a second hand lever/master cylinder off a bandit or ER5 from a breakers to get an adjustable span lever. Has anyone tried this? Also what is the best way to get a few extra horse power out of the engine without spending a fortune?

welcome to the site. just make sure to get the master to caliper ratio close so the brake effort is the same.
as far as HP, gearing is the cheapest bang for the buck, also a headder helps. propper jetting with that pipe is critical. everything else costs money. big bore, flatslide carbs.....
