Your doing the absolute right thing Ruth.
I bought my first Duke a few years ago now (also from OYB) and, well to put it bluntly, got screwed by the salesman, who told me certain things had been done which later it was proved hadn't, and it ended up costing me a small fortune.
Nearly (but not quite
) put me of Dukes for life. The point being that at the time I knew very little if anything about Dukes, and went over on my own and just got bowled over by the beauty of the bike. If I had been there with someone who new even the slightest about what they were looking at, they would have spotted the problems....and they could have been rectified.
I guess with Kev you have someone who knows his onions...just make sure he doesn't start 'removing' items for one of his DD projects
Enjoy the Bike
