thanks tl,and your right the wheels do need painting the fresh bodywork makes them look terrible.theyre going to be gloss black with a white pinstripe to match the seat and front mudguard.the seat unit was found on e-bay and looking at the alto performance racing raptors the seat looks almost identical to theirs.again thanks for posting the pic mate.see ya

Personally, I think that it would look far better with a standard seat, like mine - Hey! I'll swap, if you want.............

try this:

You'll need the photos on your own computer. If these are over 1.5mb in size you can use Paintshop, Photoshop or even MSPaint to resize them to something managable.

Then you need to click www.imageshack.us

Click on the 'browse' button to locate the file you want to upload.

Once selected click 'OK'

Choose '640x480 (for message boards)' from the resize menu and place a tick in the check box.

Now press 'Host it!'

You can then select lots of different options. We recommend the following


'Hotlink for forums (1)' (towards the bottom of the webpage) will show the entire photo:
(then copy and paste the link into your post

When you click preview from your post, you should be able to see the image

That Phil wouldn't be Read who used to ride Matt Purdeys XB Buell, would it?
My other mate Martin rides an older S1 Buell in TB, in fact when 'Ronnie ring ding' had a go on it, I think PB had some trouble catching him :lol: Sadly PB retired with mechanical 'issues' :lol:
