That would save me building a loom for it

XS400 sold! So no loom needed Steve, ta.

the photo of the hayabusa inthe petrol station is in/near Clitheroe, Lancashire BB7 ...

Hello there Bowches, looks like we're online at the same time. I guess you're about to upload a pic of your 'Busa. Looking forward to seeing it. I reckon your geography is a bit iffy, Clitheroe isn't very near Manchester, although there are plenty of southerners who think it is but most of them have never ventured past Watford.
Btw, I said that the SuperBike Store in Macclesfield (which also isn't near Manchester) had a row of Hayabusa's. I was in there last week and they've sold every one! In fact there were a lot of gaps. I was told they're about to open a new store and had moved bikes there to fill it up.
