    No worries..come chat with me should you want any of the Mods I mentioned plus any other, I get aftermarket pipes at a good price as well as a few other items.
    Sadly..the Nun is not included .....

    The IMS tanks are in the range of $420 to $450, weather you buy it locally (Rage Racing) or import them directly yourself from IMS or Pro Cycles.
    I would however, if I may, suggest you get a "clear" tank, and not one of their colored ones (black, blue or yellow)

    howdy Eddie.........yep been keen to get back on the dirt for a while now but feel i'm a little too fragile now days to be piloting a motox bike so this is a good compromise.........have been looking at the sargent seat but funding a little low at present
    do you get out on adventure rides down your way much?

    sargent or corbin seat would be real good, altho not cheap
    others on here will know how good they are and which is best
    in just using a doubled up sheepskin hehe
    seems ok for about 5-600kms
    cheapest mod is to get an upholsterer to remove seatcover
    add an inch of foam to each side and an inch accross the top and
    stretch orig cover over again...nice and frugal!

    been doing a few rides down here, and central north island etc
    adventure ridings a good compromise between trail and road
    lotta fun mate!
    hope to catchup with you on your dr soon bro....
