There not too difficult to fit, take your time.  worst part is the cable that goes around the back.

I bought a blue twillfast mohair for ?190, ?10 for the rear cable +VAT so the lot for ?235.  Delivered the following day.

Havn't been in the rain yet since it lives in the lock-up.

Bought it off a friend who painted it, he bought it off a work mate. Neither applied for the V5.  Me I want it on the road, sent off the application, forgot to enclose ?19 cheque >:( still waiting for the V5 6weeks after buying it, don't expect it to arrive until September.
