This op will decide if the SP5 is for sale or not.

Well, hopefully not then.

Get well soon 888 bro...

Ow !
That will take some time to get back to anywhere near normal !
I've had keyhole surgery on both my shoulders, and it takes 6 months before everything starts to feel as if its moving something like normally, so you cant really get any idea of how much your range of movement is affected till after then.
Start exercising now !
(I'm not kidding - dont let your shoulder get stiff - however uncomfortable it gets - mobility is essential - and you'll only be able to do very gentle things with it at first anyway)

ME...! As it looks like it will fit mine....but only if phil h doesn't want it, because after all he asked first.....are you having it phil?

Jasper, don't give up on riding a sportsbike again.

I've had some serious stuff done to both mine and although it takes ages before you can even scratch your head, you will recover eventually.

Unfortunately it's an age thing, in that the older you get, the longer it takes.

I was back on the ZZR after about 3 months and although the riding position is not as forward as an SP, it did weigh about 4 tons ( or so it felt)

...for gawd sake don't drop it though, cos you'll never pick it up again!

Good luck and stick with the exercises !

Sorry for the delay - been busy at work and only just caught up with things - just gone out and checked dimensions.
