Welcome!

I am partial to 3xw models myself.  Your has a number of interesting mods:
1) Mufflers....not stock....look good.
2) Belly Pan: looks like is has been trimmed a bit.
3) Reflector up on the scoop.... I expect to meet MOT requirements after front brake mod.
4) Seat: maybe some foam cut out to accommodate a shorter rider?
5)  Brakes: "Blues Spots"
6) Rear end looks a bit high from stock; be interesting to see if the shock is stock?

Looks in very nice shape...congrats!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff

I really appreciate you spotting those things, as I only had test ride before leaving deposit, I don't pick up bike for another week, plus this is the first one I've seen/rode!
I had thought the seat was very low, that explains it, looking at photos of different bikes I can now see the difference.
He did mention the rear shock had been changed - hopefully a worthy improvment
