The bike was again serviced in 2020 by Jim Hodges to include :
- Replacement clutch shock absorber spider and rubbers
- Upgrade to a triplex primary drive chain conversion.

All future annual servicing was then entrusted to Jim Thompson of JTCMS with extra work as follows.
2022 Fork stanchions were replaced.
2023 Twin front disc conversion.
2024 New chain fitted. Standard leaky neutral switch replaced with a hall sensor, relay and wiring.
2025 Head removed and machined as the plugs had become loose.

In conclusion the bike can only be described as immaculate, ultra reliable and loved within an inch of its life. The photos do not do this beautiful motorcycle justice. This truly beautiful inside and out T160 can be viewed at any time subject to prior arrangement.
