Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Those cans - Staintunes, I think - are worth a few hundred quid, even second-hand. They're £900.00 now, new.

The seller's claim that they sound 'awesome' would only be true if it's got an aftermarket pipe (H-pipe, BEF-pipe) replacing the standard collector box. Otherwise, it'll sound like a loud, half-strangled, wet fart.

I'm on PH and recognise the seller. Should be spot-on that bike.

Sounds good other than having had a tumble outside Harry Ramsdens
