One thing came to my mind looking at the attached picture. Someone has painted the sides (at least the left side) of your cylinders black. AFAIK the side of those horizontal heat sinking grooves shouldn't be painted.
Hey I just messaged the guy and he assured me that the engine is standard and hasn't been painted. But I'm no expert on the model. Its the model with the gold clocks. Is it possible that there's a version that comes with black fins on the cylinder or am I being taken for a mug? Hah
If it's an issue I can put it right but I just like to feel like I am being sold what I am told I am being sold and not misled.
Thanks

Hiya fella, lovely looking bike and welcome to the forum......loads of help on hear about everything.
Wouldn't worry in the slightest about the engine fins not being silver....it's personal choice and have probably been painted. The rear grab rail is off a later bike, double bubble screen fitted, belly pan fitted, rear hugger etc......all to make the bike look the way the previous owner wanted it to (my 2p is they all suit the bike) . We've all made little mods here n there to our tastes (including painting engine fins) so don't even waste time thinking about the engine fins.....I love the way it looks and if you do then that's all that counts. :thumbup
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
