Lots to polish too.

I'm sure Lee will reciprocate . . . in a symbiotic sorta way

Nice Lee, but my friend lost quite a bit of money on a nearly new Sportster where as the SP1s are holding there own at the mo.
Hope you enjoy it mate. Not my bag but I can see why people want them.

Got one of those sat in my garage, bought it new for the missus in '97 and there it sat. Got 1.600 mls on it Screaming Eagle free flow airfilter Dynojet. Oh and an "easyclutch" as you need two hands to pull the clutch lever. Worth bo##ocks now.

Blatently hi-jacking this post, this is my new toy not a bike but a good stable mate for the Storm

Dont give up Mike it will be worth it in the long run. There is nothing like open air motoring.
