Thats what you get for trusting someone elses assistance and advice, and not actualy bothering to check yourself lol
Oh well, its still a Merlin ti soft tail, I will compare it to the next one i ride past lol!!!
The steerer spacers are not a "crime", it is but a mere "place holder". Once the Spring/Summers here the bike will be out getting ridden, then I can work out where I want the controls. There realy is no point in riding it through the cacky British winter when I have other bikes to abuse.
