Tim..I reckon you could pick up a tatty monnie for £1ksh, and youd only need to spend a few bob on second hand parts....if only to sort out the ground clearance issue.

Whilst suspension changes would be nice/better....I dont think there really that necessary on a bike knocking out 50hp !! To be honest..squirming/bouncing around mallory was half the fun anyway !!!

Youd also be surpised about the amount of second hand bolt on billy bits there are in the UKMOC forum..I picked up a neat bottom yoke mounted steering damper for £50, and brand new rearsets for £100 (which were way too good for the monnie so I slung 'em on the 888 !!!)

Also, good thing is, because of the relativley low power , these things will give you PLENTY of warning before they spit you off !!!

Cheers
Nat
