£170 with free delivery. The good ones on ebay were going for £120+ so i thought i'd spend the extra on a brand new one as they weren't really coming up that often in good condition on ebay!!

Hi Rich, thanks for the advice on how to do photos, and just to prove I listened here's one of my front end.

Ooh, that looks great... Any more pics of the bike? Does the mudguard not foul the radiator? Usually I hate those headlights but that wee beak makes it perfect...

I had to trim a little bit off the back of the mudguard to clear the rad. Still testing it at the moment to make sure it doesn't shield it to much, don't want to cook the motor! Going to wait until I get the bike on a dyno (next week) to check the fuelling before giving it a top speed blast, just in case it is a bit lean. I want to get the headlight back closer to the forks but at the moment I had to build in somewhere for the standard clocks.
