![]() Cheers for the idea about filters - that brought much more up (even though most of them are a bit old now). The default is either less than it used to be, or there's simply less traffic through it. ... |

![]() Yeah, that all makes sense - it's a sign of the time I suppose. I hope the site lasts long enough to help me with any questions I have when I get sorted. But after two 650s and a 1000, I should know... |

![]() SV sold on Sunday after having it (and being on here) for 10 years. Now bike-less for the first time in over 20 years. Strangely not that fussed. Thought I'd be gutted ... |

![]() I've got one in the garage. Took it off my black K8 and put a black one on it. It was in immaculate condition when I put it away, so doubt that's changed. PM me if it sounds like what you need. |
