Thanks for the welcome chaps, not much kicking about that takes my fancy at the moment plus being self employed i cant afford the time to trawl the country to go look at this n that but iv'e already been bargain hunting for mods. Got a pair of renthal bars & hyperpro front springs that were going for a song a couple of weeks ago & i'll be giving Devilsyam a shout about one of his R6 shocks but need a bike to put them on first.    If the bike i end up with has any of the mods i have already i'll give the good peeps of the forum first shout. Cheers.
