Hello Paul - you've certainly found the right place for all things A10 related.  As a relative newcomer myself I've been amazed at the range and depth of knowledge and advice available here.  Enjoy your bike and the forum.
Regards,
Terry

G'day Paul, welcome to the forum.
                                              Bobbers are starting to grow on me, if their done right. Our plunger and rigid A7/10's are bobberish to start with, just take the front guard off.
Cheers

Thank you for the welcome.
 I understand i dont own a purist bike but i felt i were a little too young to be on a pure classic, so a brit bobber seemed perfect.
 Having never ridden a twin or indeed a british bike before, i can honestly say i cant see me riding anything else in the future.Absolutely loving it.
 Regards Paul.
