Yes mate I,ll get the pics up for you, any in particular?,

pretty sure it is a 2tk as I had a close look at the pics, its got the oil cooler, adjustable rear shock, preload on the forks, single (ish) seat etc etc.

I,m from Newcastle, but dont worry unless theres a seat unit for sale (which would save me some fiberglassing work) I dont need anything urgent so you can bid away for bits lol.

Lol Bedlington thats superb what a small world, Ian Bells a good yam dealer there not far from me really.

Pre load is an adjustment on the forks to take the initial "slack" out of then if you like, if you are hooning it around its important to get the right sag settings etc for the bike which preload can give.

pics will be on the morra ;)
