[Trumpet]

Thanks for all the advice, I did not deliberately ignore the advice "you will be better to buy a race prepared bike" but things have worked out differently. I have now aquired a 600ss (taxed, tested and ready for the road), so my learning curve about preparing a bike for racing is about to sharply increase!
Anyway, I have seen the link with contacts for suppliers but once again, especially those who have gone down the 600ss route, your advice on where to start and who to go to would be much appreciated.
