Hello, thanks for the interest. Preliminarily sold to the first person that contacted me (philjwb). I'll post again here if it falls through. Wouldn't really be able to post it as it's quite big and would cost you a fair bit. Not sure if it will fit the M, the S50 engine isn't listed at: http://www....

Once my shocks have been changed I think my zed will be how I want it to be. Means I can spend money on other aspects then! :)
