Thank's for all your feed back guys, gives me a stack of questions to ask the dealer at the weekend.

It's a very unclear photo but it doesn't look like the VOSA brake line recall has been done.
Check VERY carefully around the clutch cover breather hole for signs of fluid leakage. A switched on dealer will know about the permanent solution, a crap dealer will simply replace inadequate seals etc repeatedly. Ask if they know the part numbers for the updated parts

Although I've never used them, Black Bear in Newmarket seem to be the dealer of choice - before you buy I would give them a call and see if they have anything available.

The biggest problem with the bike is Buell UK itself - as Adam stated choose your dealer wisely - it definitely pays to pick a knowledgable and enthusiatic dealer !

Blackbear ARE the dealer to go to. Their service team have looked after me and my Buell's since day one and I can only recommend them. end of conversation....

Weirdo

That's appropriate weird Al

Seriously, the kettle was a bit of an impulse purchase, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse - TVHD have been fine as a dealer with me though I know some people have had issues with them.

Perhaps my next planned purchase will be with Black Bear ...

As to Silverstone HD - I would ask Anders to relate his experience with them to see if they are any good ...

Deposit paid this afternoon

Just need to get it, get it run in, and get it serviced before taking it to the ring in 3 weeks time
