Steps and chrome hub caps are already off, wind deflectors and rear anti rollbar will be coming off this week and the 33inch tyres are being ordered next week. There's not a scratch on the paint work but i've bought it for green laning so it will soon be very muddy and scratched. :)

I don't think I'll be using vegetable oil it's alot better on fuel than I thought it would be it was a 95mile trip home and traveled at 85mph most of the way and used around £25 in fuel.

Sounds like reasonable economy, my jim does 100miles to 20 quid but I dont go above 60. recon yours would be near the same if driven economicaly.
