I'm seriously considering a tuber to go with my XB so if anyone has a late model fettled and sorted one for realistic money or knows of one please pm me ....will be going to a loving home cheers wobb

Ha ha ha. A late model fettled and sorted one ' for reasonable money ' don't really go in the same sentence. You may get one for a Barrow full of Krugerrands or uncut diamonds. Or you could get a tuber for reasonable money that NEEDS to be fettled and sorted. These are your choices when it comes to tuber ownership.

If you get an early original ,you`ll want a comfy seat , then the bubbled paint sorting, then the new set of tyres, ali swing arm, bearings , engine mount, oil pump drive gear and whilst the motors apart etc etc etc. Nice when done though. Wait with £6k and see what comes along.

So u think I'm looking at 5-6 k for a nice one ? Was a couplevin eBay for 5.5 but I wasn't sure if they were to rich ?

or you could swap an XBR for an X1 , like I did

That nuclear blue / white X1 lightning strike. Offer him 5k and see what happens. It won't need too much doing to it. A spondon front mount, Lucky hands oil pump drive gear and later gaskets and you'll have a good 'un............ hopefully.

Get a clunker at a good price and make it yours... Works every time for me...

Apparently that orange flamed beasty sold...for asking price...apparently

The silver one kiwi ? I quite liked that )). I'll keep my eyes open in no hurry something will turn up ) bloody buells..addictive things ...I literally walk past my 9 everyday with a boner ! Actually should delete that ...

Btw nuttar I'll never get rid of my 9 the first year lightening S the bike that started my interest in these damn things )) 2400 miles from new when I bought it 2 owners in 13 years...shoulda really put it in the lounge and not ridden it ))

Sorry Wob, I just seen this... I'm pretty sure Ymale is referring to a tuber on Facebook UKBEG where a member posted it for sale...a few times. It had orange flames everywhere possible and was not to everyone's taste (noticeable by the amount of cheeky comments posted) the seller was quite vocal to the sarcasm and criticism. It made for fun reading. Its sold sorry, so you've missed out.

Fairly clean but overpriced IMO, on Begay at the moment if your desperate
