That sounds do-able. I assume you're going to collect or UR the tank/panel set? I hate posting fuel tanks because they need an arseload of packing. Whereabouts are you, anyway? If you are sure you want the tank and panels and the fusebox, I can kill he impending auctions, no problem. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools |
