Well, thanks for the Quick replies folks.
I'll have a search around the site like you mentioned.
If it's something I can remidy with a paint job in a couple of years then no worries.
Cheers for the warm welcome too!
I'll let you know when I'm riding me XT, will be a nice change. Spain next year hopefully.
My only other reservation is the pretty hard seat! I'm looking to change/modify it. I'll let you know how I get on.
