[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 42689, member: 456"] Hello BritJim, there is nothing to worry about concerning the forks and wheel on the Cheffins bike. The rear wheel also has an alloy rim and there is a 'Dave Hills' centre stand fitted. Together with the s/s exhaust system these are all modification which many of us have made. They are all generally thought to improve the bike and apart from those who want their bikes to look exactly like they did when they left the factory do nothing to detract from the value of the bike. The Bonhams bike also had non original parts fitted but looks to be a genuine bike. Without actually seeing the bikes and hearing them run nothing certain can be said about either bike but from the specifications and photographs they look as though either should suit you. I know nothing about Cheffins policy with regards to compensation if a sold bike is found to have a serious fault but I do know that Bonhams claim to offer compensation. However, a local friend bought a twin through Bonhams which turned out to have a scrap crankcase. They paid £1,000 compensation while the cost of a new crankcase is about £3,000 plus all the extra parts and labour. Be warned. [/QUOTE]
