Default Re: Noob from Essex

Do you want a pristine example or are you OK with a bit of dirt here and there? I'm contemplating getting rid of my curvy. It's an S model but they're very easily converted to a naked iteration. I believe the offsets on the naked and S model top clamps are the same (I stand to be corrected, though!).

It's got less than 8000 miles on the clock, 2000 W plate, I've recently serviced it (new air/oil filter, plugs). MOT till September '18. I've changed all the fluids as well so the brake reservoirs are nice and fresh, I stripped the calipers and everything's sliding as it should...it brakes really, really hard actually - far better than the pointy SV650S I had a few years back.

Could do with new tyres and the front forks need the oil changed (I'd recommend better springs anyway, tbh) but I don't want a great amount of money for it. There's rust on nuts and bolts that could easily be sanded and buffed up. Rear brake arm needs a washer as it's got a tiny bit of play (but wasn't anywhere near enough to be an MOT issue).

I'll PM you with a link to a photo album.
