No, dont know that particular bike but I do know Buells and 1K would be the minimum spend. |

5k is a good price. I paid more for my S1 than that and then spent nearly the same amount to get it where it is today. Buell's are not for a year or two. Never ever think that. I'm thinking of this bike and doing this https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=umbau ... s5UeweM%3A it's,a shame it's an X1 lightning strike in the right colours |

K&N Filter = £65.98 New front and upgraded rear Isolaters = £210 ish Upgraded front engine mount and bolts = £160 Primary tensioner checked and already done Upgraded gearchange = £175 £10 oil mod = £10 NOS shock mount for 380mm shock = £50 New AST shock = more than £600 American gearing TBA That's without addressing the front disc or starting to mess with carb, exhausts and silencers and assumes I do all the spannering myself. Not really essential but I also got hold of a NOS manta tank as insurance against bubbling paint which was not cheap. Being funded by me selling all my other worldly goods on Ebay to pay back a short term loan from Mrs Park's saving account. The problem is all my good stuff has now gone and I still owe.......... quite a bit............. |

It'll be worth it when Maz has had his hands on it. I wasn't convinced I'd like it and we spent way more on it than that - turns out I love it Just managed to start the old girl to get her out for her mot. Feel a bit guilty as I haven't been out on her for a while. I'm just testing that all is ok for Magz of course...honest |
