    No problems here and i am sure Wessa will not hold any thing against the typing he is to nice a chap for that. I do wish you luck in the search. There was a paint company that i used some time ago for my Bonnie. I sent them a panel they matched the paint and gave me a name. I will search through my paperwork and see if i can find their name. Unless someone here beats me to it.
    Joe.

    Thanks mate. I get frustrated sometimes as well. Sure Martin just hit the wall for a moment.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Ah, that explains it.....interesting history.
    I'm afraid I'm not quite so salubrious as your Tunbridge Wells addresses...High Brooms.
    I just can't get my Beloved to move.
    However, I'm glad you're happy with your tiger...as am I with mine.
    Mines an 06 955i in very very good condition...and yes I use it... lots.
    I originally bought it's predecessor as a winter hack to keep the salt off my Thunderbird 1600... and found I liked it so much that I put 30000 miles on that bike in a year ...long story but I found out the hard way that the cam tensioners really ought to be changed every 40k miles
    The present one is far more pampered but definitely ridden every day.
    Baglux still sell the tank covers but there about £150 from memory.
    I don't have one for my current bike as it's not got the dreaded bubbling on the tank stripes.
    It's got sensible upgrades though... Sasquatch regulator/rectifier conversion, gel seats( seat concepts on order) Wilbers rear shock( excellent) Vario rear footrest extension, and lots more .
    It's s bike I'd take ( and do take ) anywhere.
    Just put some handlebar risers on it today....bars up and back a little just to ease the strain on my elderly neck muscles.
    Im sure yours has mods too?
    Impossible not to with these bikes.
    ( As you might have guessed I'm a big fan of them)
