The wire-spoke wheels were rebuilt in February 2019 with polished aluminum rims and polished stainless-steel spokes, and the bearings were cleaned and repacked.

The conventional leading-axle fork was dismantled, cleaned, and rebuilt in January 2024, and the steering head bearings were replaced in February 2024. Braking is provided by dual cross-drilled front discs with single-piston calipers as well as a drum at the rear.

The adjustment knob for the hydraulic steering damper is mounted aft of a chrome handlebar with dual straight-stalk mirrors as well as a 140-mph speedometer, a matching tachometer with a 7,100-rpm redline, and a column of indicator lamps. A voltmeter and an analog clock are mounted the fairing above. The speedometer and tachometer cables were lubricated in September 2021. True mileage is unknown.

The carburetors were cleaned, synchronized, and adjusted in January 2024.
