Lol I still have the risk of not getting any thing back from GAP policy that will mean more finance! but otherwise its a no brainer for me now.
Next item on agenda what accessories to get first, though will most unlikely get bike until new year unless I pick the matt grey abs colour in showroom!

I admire people who can hold on with getting something AWSOMEEEEEEEE. I usualy go to dealers do few test rides and next day I have what turns me on ;-) and its a sleepless night

Congratulations Lee. I pick mine up from Fowlers tomorrow morning - I went for Deep Armour with the Arrow can and ABS. Looking forward to seeing if the Fowlers PDI is as bad as I've read.

Awesome, i thought it was a pretty good deal with arrow system to.
This will be my 3rd new bike from Fowlers and PDI always been fine, it was more after servicing costs, problems etc, I find staff very sorta impersonal I guess its from being a big dealer. Let us know how you geton.

So, picked the bike up today from Fowlers. The chain was so tight the wheels struggled to turn and the Arrow pipe wasn't on the bike as they aren't in stock until next week. Found that a bit odd as the Arrow pipe was on the bike when I bought it!! Never mind, the pipe will be fitted when I get the 600 mile service done. Great bike but the only issue is the throttle. Didn't find it snatchy just the throttle body itself felt loose - lot's of free play and side to side movement which I hope can be adjusted (didn't feel like that when I had a test ride). Apart from that though I'm very happy with it and glad that I decided to swap my Street Triple for the MT. Apart from the too tight chain, I thought Fowlers were great to deal with.

Congratulations on your new MT. Reference to the chain, its only supposed to be 15mm slack. This is because the swingarm pivot point is inline with the sprockets (Which is a good thing) Enjoy .. And ride safe 
15mm of slack would be nice, but from the factory the chain is like a bow string. You could play a tune on it.Congratulations on your new MT.

All in all not a bad start to the day then
I moved the black polypropylene disc that's found between the rubber grip and the throttle housing to inside the housing itself (with a little tweaking) which removed all sideways play.
When you slacken the chain you might want to check your wheel alignment at the same time - unless you're too busty riding!
