Hi guys thanks for the encouragement. Just back from my hols and have a couple of busy weeks but will add more pics when i remove the fairings etc. The tank needs some alterations as i dont like the way it sits on a kind of tray as you can see near the seat so some mods there and at the front. I will be picking brains for ideas even though i have a couple of my own. Does anyone have a manual for the motor they would like to sell?

If that is an old fibreglass tank just be aware that modern fuels will turn it into a 'molten mess'
Did the previous owner live in the Glossop area?

No the tank is plastic. Whats the best thing to use to clean it out?
