Blimey... that would have been grim

Under fairing and engine is looking good - rear wheel off tonight, shims being checked / adjusted on Wednesday. Progress is being made.

As an aside, I've had an e-mail from Consumer Direct. Just in case any of you get into the same mare that I have, this is what they have said:

Your legal rights in this instance are against the seller from whom the goods were purchased. The legislation that would cover you is the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). Section 13 of the Act states that goods should be as described. If they are not, then the seller is in breach of contract and you could request a full refund.

At this stage, I would advise to send the trader that sold the goods a recorded delivery letter (keeping a copy). After providing an account of the events you should refer to your rights under the Sale of Goods Act and allow 14 days for a refund or other appropriate remedy to be arranged. If the letter does not prove successful then you may need to take action via the Small Claims Court.

The Seller might also have committed an offence under the Consumer Protection Regulations if the goods are mis-described.

Good news.....

Not restricted plus I've come to an amicable agreement this morning with the seller who has agreed to pay me some compo to bring this to a close....
I now view the bike as mine and have started work on getting the bike right.... Fairings are off and I'm underneath the bike covered in $hite sanding and polishing the exhaust. I know no-one will see it under there but I know its there.... Bring on that OCD Clarkey!!

Massive thanks to everyone on the forum who have offered advice and support. Brilliant

I'll post some photos later on as the strip-down and rebuild commences...

Glad too hear Tony you've been able to put a close on your situation with the seller and that it's not restricted of course
