Cheers. Both good suggestions. Any way to drop costs is helpful. I'm being a bit tight, but I know how quickly spend can rack up on projects. Plus if I've got to get it MOT'd or if something else crops up...
In other news I've ordered the YTX7L-BS battery from here: http://www.chinesemotorcyclepartsonline.co.uk/partno_GTX7LBS.php
£20.76 for FedEx next day delivery seemed pretty good (it's just been dispatched). Crossing my fingers a bit as I've got no idea what the quality is going to be like. But I figure if my mates using it 5 days a week it should be fine and if it's not he can buy a £30-40 one.
I've also found a couple of places that can order the twist grip. For reference here and this guy on the 'bay. Unfortunately it's a 10 day - 3 week turnaround.
I feel sad I've neglected it for so long as it's a really great bike, but it's definitely taught me to only ever buy popular bikes where a gazillion have been made.
