Jools,

no i'm not sure, and to be honest after my trip to CMW today I think they could be the same.

Judging by the results of this mornings calls I'm not likely to get a test ride or even a look at an 04 bike for around another 4 weeks :(

Ah, now that's a tricky one to answer :)
I started out looking at a s/h 2002 bike,

Looks like I won't be disappointed performance wise. I just didn't want to get out of the vfr only to find the ST4S was not an equal or better match.

So how much is a quick change rear carrier and sprocket compared to a standard one ?

I assume these aren't DP parts, so who sells them ?

Cheers guys.
