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.

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?
