I don't see many of these come up for sale. This one has a great looking frame, which in my opinion is the most critical part of any restoration.
And how about that color's name? Starlight Violet; how poetic.

Yes, it seems like a lot of bother to just achieve 25mm of fork travel. Simple is often the best.

I'd still like to find one of the Silk Path Jekyll's come up for sale. Don't really have a need for one, but I think they are interesting.

I really like the 25 mm travel on my XS800. It's great for soaking up road shock on gravel and rough pavement. The same ride could be achieved with a bigger tire run at lower pressure but with an increase of tire weight and loss of efficiency.
