Just commission it , ride it , let the rain wash it, then ride it ! Service it. Do not inflict any more time parked up than it has endured already. :D k

Glad you got on here John. Have to say mine are more or less standard, but I do really like Blix's bike. I think Blix's mods are easy(ish) to reverse, which can help when the time comes to sell I guess. Going to come down to your personal preference. I take it you saw the recent Practical Sports bike with the Modded Kat against the new one?
