Sweet, very very sweet :D

Get your butt over to the Renntec website and get a grab rail. they are going cheap right now.(17 quid)
Also, pick up a sports rack while you are there, handy to have.

Braided brake lines are made of win :D they will really sharpen up the stoppingness :D

Much service history with it?

Hello and welcome. Take no notice of CaNsA, you don't want a grab rail on it, it will only encourage passengers :smt012 Make it as uninviting as possible for 'em and you won't get bothered. Better still, get a small tailpack for the pillion seat, then there's no room left biggrin

He's right about the braided lines, though.... :smt002

Hel braided lines are nice, racing quality, and you can choose to have the heatshrink plastic covering in different colours to complement your bike. Goodridge are also excellent and I think they are cheaper, but I don't think they are heatshrink coated, they just come as bare stainless. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you want.

I've got a Kreiga 10 litre tailpack which is excellent and not bulky at all. You can get waterproofs, sandwiches, drink in there and still have a bit of room spare. They come bigger, obviously, if you need more room. Very well made and 100% waterproof. Got it mail order from Infinity Motorcycles, who seemed as cheap as anywhere and delivered fine http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/prod ... l-pack/252 I did find, however, that the straps to secure it didn't hold it that tight as they kept loosening themselves on the bumps so got some mini-tie downs off Ebay which were dead cheap and do the job http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/25mm-Cam-Strap-Bu ... 45fac38912

I have goodridge lines, they have a clear plastic coating on them.
