Change............... Seems like I've heard that word before. About the only changes I've done to old DOT were of the "to make it more reliable and comfortable varity". Newer TCI, Rectifier, Gel and foam seat redo, ajustable footrests for she who must be obeyed, louder horn, more rear lights, replacing all lights to LEDs. I've said it before ,this is about the easiest bike to tear down quickly I've ever seen. As far as full dressers are concerned. The term "Ride it like you stole it" is deserving of these bikes once everything is up to par.
