I wouldn't have thought there were many around, and I'm going back around 2001 ish, it was Steve pressland or mike hill who rode one ?......

Worth keeping a eye out though.

Just seen on eBay that there are some sunn 4pc matching bars for 10 quid + post

I think the shop belongs to Anthony revell, but don't quote e on it.
