thanks for the tip mate... taken on board.
Im looking to buy a 2003/04 with about 5000 miles on the clock and then get the touratech rack and 31 litre boxes. also im going to get a steel rear rack to strap a kit bag to.
Good choice ?? Is the XT's subframe upto the task or worth getting strengthened ?
