    No, frame is straight (been jigged), front forks square, so turning it into a street fighter now. I normally ride a Multistrada, so like the higher bar position and removing the fairing saves about 40lbs in weight. Will spend some money on it and have it back on the road (hopefully) before Autumn with custom paint, raised bars and relocated electrics. May post some photos.

    I see you're in Nottingham fella - so am I. Know any good motorcycle electricians, I need to re-route the electrics for the ECU and fuses?!

    I don't know anywhere that does looms specifically pal. There are places that you can send it off and they will make it to however you want it.

    You could try calling Kev at KS Performance in Hucknall, he builds race bikes so he should know someone 077 241 48423
