Lewis - contact them directly, it's not their job to trawl through the forum to see if a random question pops up. You will find they are very helpful.

don't think I was being impatient my previous post appeared twice and I don't know why.rustygman I put the question on here so that all members and 535 owners would know the answer Wayne is the man at Hitchcocks who usually replies

Perhaps if they said on this open forum 'Yes, all come down and have a blast' there would be a queue of time-wasters a mile long out of the door. Contact them direct and politely, they might say no though.

I have just ordered my GT, now for the "shopping list" Motad Pipe, proper Clip On's what I would really like is Top
Fairing if they decide to adapt the brackets for it.
Will get a few miles on the clock and then look at the performance mods on offer.

Jones mods are bang on for me - the stock bars are far too wide and the bike needs Ace bar or clip on options at about 28 inches wide not 33 inches.

[apparently lucky eddie]

Not too sure about "ace Bars", a bit hard on the wrists for me. I used to find Seeley bars, like Ace bars but flat and shorter, much more comfortable.

[sofiaspin]

Yes Eddie you have a point - Norton Straights come to mind, or Vincent straights, with a slight curve backwards. Norman Hyde M bars would work perfectly if they were a couple of inches inboard

Hello all, - apologies but I have been on holiday - unfortunately we do not have a demo bike at this time, as many of you know we are not bike dealers and our own bike is in constant use in development.

[Lewis]

Thank you for the reply Wayne.
Yes I am aware you don't sell bike, but I thought that by offering a test ride on one of your tuned 535's to customers who are interested in the buying the full performance kit would be something that could be arranged after all this full kit is not cheap,I for one would like to fit the kit But I would like to try & see first what I would be getting in the way of improved performance before shelling out a lot of cash.

That sounds a great idea Lewis - from the buyer's point of view! But I've never come across a dealer/agent who offers a test ride for replacement or performance parts. But maybe someone knows of a dealer who does offer such a service. I guess insurance would be a nightmare.
