Don't you start with your chrome trim. What if the previous owner took it off. ;)

Ah true true, I was forgetting the chrome trim!

Naturally they left it off the f2 to save weight on the 'sporty' model....

That's the theory I'm sticking to anyway!  ;)

Don't do it Steph. It just collects water and the tank goes rusty.

Don't worry Trigger, that was just me not being able to type on my phone! Meant 'forgetting' not 'for getting'! ::!

So much for technology, give me an old Honda any day... ;)
