Came down from £3700 to £3300.There is only one invoice from non Ducati dealer,thats for an oil change with the Mot,all the rest are Woods,Abergele.Thats the good bit,the not so good is the bodywork,photos look better than reality-stone chips mainly.Plans-simple,strip it down completely and build a Nattyboy/Sparkin clone,sounds easy doesnt it,(especially as Haynes dont do a manual)but looking at frame re-painted,bodywork,single seat,high level pipes,footrests.S--t need a lottery win
