Thanks Pman, I knew you'd have the answer. I will start saving as all this stopping is getting me down. I sometimes think the bike looks at my long rests and I'm sure its saying 'get on you wimp', still miles to go before sunset.

Hi Jacques, sorry for the slow reply, as pleiades has said before. I used to struggle around the 150 mile mark, and sooner with a passenger. We have done 1 300 mile ride out, all be it with a stop and no complaints. Its possably one of the best mods ive done so far.
