I stuck one of their swingers on my Z1 in the 70s. I think I made the handling worse.

Had one on my H2C. I liked the look. Not sure if it improved bike handling.

My Dad used to tell me a story about Dave Deggens, the original owner of Dresda (I have heard some others as well from different people that I can not put on here

).
Anyway, I think it was in the 50's, my Dad used to walk to work in Twickenham and a couple of times Dave stopped on one of his bikes and gave him a lift. My Dad said it was some of the most frightening experiences in his life and in the end he used to hide when he heard Dave's bike comming as he said he 'wanted to give that up whilst the going was good'
