thanks Frank. I've not heard back from the guy so I don't know if he still sells them. My problem is that my bike was bought with quite a lot of modifications already (baines twin plug head, high comp pistons, modified exhaust system) and I'm not sure how well matched they are. I'm at the point where all round usability, reliability and comfort are more important than peak power and razor-sharp handling (I'm going through an early-life crisis). If this sounds like an argument for a Japanese bike - and that's what the Bandit is for!! cheers, Chi |
