Hi Ryan, It's your CA95 motor that has the higher comp pistons, I've edited my last post.

Sam. ;)

P.S. can anyone measure the width of the CA handle bars for me, I need your help :)

Sam, did anyone measure their bars for you? I assume you mean the left side to the right, and not diameter of the bar. Let me know, I'd be happy to do it for you.

No, if you could do it for me I would appreciate it. Just bar end straight across to the other bar end.

Mine measured 28" across, give or take because the grips are still on.

Thanks very much, that was what I needed and is the same as the wide bars that came from Bankok.

I'll go take a picture of my bars and post them up with the dimensions. I'll be visiting my bike over at my sisters house in a couple of hours.

That's OK now Ryan, thanks to Mr Davis, I've found that the bars that I have are indeed the wide American ones, on the UK version they were not as wide.

Wonderful. US version has wider bars? I can't believe how much information is popping up on this forum about these bikes! Keep it comin! Too bad we can't all get together for a rally. I don't know if mine runs well enough for that though, hehe. Well at least we could park them in a row out in front of a coffee shop somewhere and look at them. :-)

photoshop?

Actually, Mr. Smithers, I just might let you know then next time I head up your way, throw the bike in the truck, and take her up there. SLO gotta be a pretty cool town to cruise around in.

Again, this maybe off topic, but being I run P-P, it looks normal. I'm sure I can dig up some pics.

Back on topic, as a sticky we should probably have a list of our ebay ventures. What we got from who, and how the experience was.
