grand idea stuart:

1. blanking plug for speedo drive hole on cylider head .. as available in US from cyclex or joker
2. camchain tensioners for the 500/4 seem to be unavaiable in UK just now ?

I'm generally retiscent to order anything direct from US myslef due to a bad customs experience last year that delayed parts delivery by six months  :-X

Are you talking relatively inexpensive items or anything at all? Clocks, exhaust, viagra, cafe seats, viagra,  engine crash bars, and last but not least, viagra.

Maybe incorporate crash stud thingies into your alloy engine mounts.

spot on , I'll be up for one of those blanking plugs.  See cyclex one in attcahed picture Also love these  crag pipes, look identical to the ones I've got and that will need renewed at some point.

PS .. what's viagra ?

planning to have the fork braces made so that you can run the stock fender. Would people still be interested in a straight brace like the torozzi type which means you cant run a fender
