Default Cheap and cheerful DRZ anyone?

Been thinking of selling my DRZ for a little while now, ever since buying the KTM it's not seen much use and the garage is looking very full!

K5 DR-Z400SM, first registered Feb 2006, 2585 miles
Originally purchased from P&H M/C by another forum member, purchased by me Sept 2007

The good:

3x3 mod done
James Dean Jet Kit installed
Forks rebuilt and hard chromed due to stone chip Dec 2007
Official suzuki handguards / exhaust heat shield / luggage rack
Goodridge braided lines front and back
ThumperTalk Case Savers
R&G LED brake light
R&G crash bobbins front and back
Rim Tape (removable if you don't like it)
Suzuki service history, oil last changed early this year at 2300 miles or so
New Varta battery this spring, remember to use an optimate!

The bad:

Fell off earlier this year, there's a thread somewhere - minor cosmetic damage on mirror, both crash bobbins, footpeg and brake levers plus barend and handguard

Bar mounts were damaged meaning the bars are a few mm out - should be easily fixed with a new pair of mounts but it's un-noticable once you're moving and if i were going to fix it i'd probably just upgrade to the renthal bars they fitted to the K6 and onwards bike

Looking for £2100 as it is...

Will update with pictures if there's any interest?

The day i picked it up:



earlier this year

the tail light



essentially it's exactly the same as that except i'll be re-fitting the stock exhaust and has a few scratches on the parts listed above
