Ah shucks, I ain't in the LCGB, may look into it not just for this but to see what other benefits it can offer.

Haha dead right dude, bit of an update... Well the cost of that can is just rediculous + the additional cost of the fitting kit make it to dear. So I'm going to make my oun steel one and get my painter to work his magic on it. I'll upload some pictures when it's done, should look the business.

Just old fashioned I suppose. I'd begrudge paying £55.00 for something that probably costs about £2.50 to make. It does look tidy though. But a bit of overkill for the kind of scootering I do.
