Many Thanks Ash, for the info, I have viewed a couple  Tidy ones  both fitted without standard looking silencers so was a tad noisy for me in my advancing years, I think my heart was ruling my head ,probably 50 or so yrs ago it may have been different, now want a more upright riding , keeping the 550,  Thankyou again , Dave .. Thankyou for the downloads
