I reckon the plate is worth a few quid, so a pretty good price!

Enjoy, and safe riding

nice

sounds like a good price to me.

don't change the plate though, you don't need a reason for coppers to stop you and waste both of your's time

Nice one Fudge. Looks ace and good price too!

We need to arrange a PF bikers meet.

Was speaking to a dude who knows someone who is selling a good turbo kit for my R1, might buy it and install it later.
