Welcome in Stephen
Or is it the one and only Steve McQueen risen to grace our humble community :think:
The 5pw is a great bike and if you need any tips there's plenty of people about but Mark you've certainly knows his sh!t when it comes to diy 5pw builds , take a look at his thread in the projects section titled "triggers broom"
How's about giving us a little bit more about your self and your biking history so we can get to know you .

As you ask so nicely, it is actually Steve McQueen, I'm 52, had plenty of bikes, most recently a lovely R6 5SL which I have stupidly swopped for a dog-like 5PW. I'm sure Im gonna like the bike eventually but its hurting me at the moment I'm up to £250.00 already with basic repairs, the bikes not been looked after, I swopped it in the dark, kicking myself.

Been riding about 10 years, FZ6, CBR1000RR6, SV1000N, ZX10R C1H, BMW Boxercup, Ducati 996, SRAD 600, Triumph Sprint ST, ZX6R J1, ZX9RC1, VFR 750FV, GSXR1000K1, BMW R1100SS, ZX9RC1, FZS1000 and R65SL. Now I have the Fazer 1000 and the 5PW. Live in Lichfield. ROSPA advanced rider.
