Thanks for the info, will add it to the miniscule bit of knowledge I have scraped together so far. Had a different set of issues with the blasting kit today. The kit we have at work is a bit more industrial then that - kind of a steel lined room 6 by 10 metres and 4 high, with a 8 foot monster of a reclaim unit outside connected to a hopper built into the floor, the issue with it is getting the reclaim unit to suck 250 kilo of steel shot out of the hopper, it struggles a bit but I think I have figured it out now, issue being it needs just the right ammount of airflow down between the walls of a twin wall pipe and up the suction hose that is the inner pipe. Now the damp weather means just as I resolved that the shot in the blast pot is caking up thanks to moisture getting in there in this damp weather. I wish I could bring my projects into work to do at lunchtimes, but I doubt I would still have a job if I did. I would love to get a shot blaster at some point, gets the job done so much better and faster.

When I listed ash's bike on eBay earlier in the year someone dropped me a line and told me it was rare and that I should double the asking price. Gut feel is that they changed the design after ~2500 were produced...anyone here have a vin in the 2500-3000 range?

got this back from someone on the USA site:
"Oh, yes I didn't notice that, now I see what you mean!
None of my three 21's have that squared of bit at the front. (2141XXX, 2153XXX, 2156XXX)
John"

... presumably because his "21s" are all K2s ... :)
JamesH:
This is definitely an early 500 k0 feature. I have VIN 1015771 and 1047327 (both K0's) and both have the later rounded case design.
