oddjob, you should try riding my DN-01. you have to plan corners in advance!! i wasnt looking for a wing, it just came up. but it would be better to find a runner at least. my plan was (as i find it painful to ride a normal bike) to butcher it into a sort of pseudo vintage look thing with a sprung saddle and a hand change on the tank etc. i might hold off until he's desperate and go in with a stupid offer otherwise i'll leave it. thanks for the input so far.
