  2. They do come up, but be prepared to spend well over £100.
    No more than US spec ones. When I put a new one on mine, I undersealed
    it first. That helps immensely.

    Tank and side panels need repaint and new decals.
    Pillion footrests missing.
    Expensive shipping.
    You could find a much better one in the UK for less money by the
    time you get it here.

    Not worth it from this side of the pond given the freight costs, but
    in the US, hell yeah. That's a new factory exhaust on it - they cost
    over £450 from Dave Silver. Rest of the chrome looks pretty good, as
    well, though the pix aren't the best.

    It's all original, as far as I can see. And it's all there. Needs a
    replacement seat - that might be a problem as it looks like Dave
    Silver has finally discontinued the new OE ones. So it would need to
    be renovated by SWK.

    A lot depends on whether it runs well - carb strip looks essential -
    and whether there's any obvious butchery (like to the camchain
    tensioner bolt).

    It's also a really early one with the pillion pegs on the swinging
    arm. I'd say 1500 bucks is a pretty reasonable price.

  7. Sorry to let you down, but I now wont be going to Ross tomorrow, the
    finance co haven't sorted the car payment out yet so I will have to
    duck out.
    Apologies again.

    The pillion footrests aren't missing.

    That's an F1 version, with footrests mounted directly to the swingarm
    and not on a seperate loop welded to the frame. You can see them in the
    pics... you thick, thick ****.

    <Takes a look at my F1>
    It has footrests as you describe.
    <Looks again at pictures>
    I dont see footrests - maybe just the crap pictures.
