Thank you mate. It is a nice clean bike, that's been looked after. And it's got all the extra's that i would have put on it anyway. Chrome side covers, bag rails, front fender guard, forward pegs, riders backrest. Just needs WW tyres now, and a leather box for the rear rack, which i have already bought. I got it for

Congrats Mick! The 15s are special. I often regret selling my old black one but I'm making due with the 1600 Nomad I now ride.
