Hi Alastair, Ive got a 1000SS DS bought from new later '03. Would be happy to help you out and you can call me anytime on 07710 704478. I think the 1000 is a great bike and represents superb value for money but never seems to get any spotlight. Ive fitted after market cans which are awesome, have done a trackday and some touring on it (I also have a two week trip through the med next month on it). Anyway as I say give us a call if you want to talk further etc. Paul |
