:lol: I am expecting the same, they look good though, if we wanted long distance cruising comfort we'd be riding goldwings [probably, i've never had the experience]

That was indeed me Mark yes, thanks.....and yes the guy that built it was called Jaffa, still has his "private" reg on C** JAF...He was lead engineer at Jaguar and said he'd spent 4 or 5 years building it over time. There are some really nice touches on it that he hand made, rear brake torsion set up being one of them & the Arai horn badge......

He had only done around 200 miles on it when I bought it and there were quite a few niggles that needed sorting....mostly done now though but I still, after 10 months or so, need to fit me new tank so its still tankless at the moment....The biggest feck-up was that for some reason whoever fitted the fuel pipe used larger bore reducing to narrow shite which caused fuel starvation and the MBD TS seized on me which I wasn't best pleased about. I managed to replace that a few months before the TS's ran out so the TS on there now has only done around 50 miles or so, doesn't really get used due to work....
