I've got a large. Yours was a 2016 one, right? Mine is a 2018. I think they tweaked the geo slightly inbetween '16 and '18...
I might have plans for a second Shan some time in the future. Paint would be irrelevant though, so do your thing. I can wait - just remember me when you want to get rid of it Wink

Mate, I’d happily let it go anytime ya want!

I have other options for winter projects, just not as cheap a project as stripping paint

Yes, for sure regarding geo

If Pyro no buyro , then this is the way in one form or another. Raw thoughts had a stoke effect I haven’t felt in a while

I've got the Transition TransAm to build up or swap parts over to.
Only way that I could make use of another Shan is by cutting the BB shell out and fitting a gearbox to it. Which will also ruin the paint...so no point in getting a mint one.

Build it up and us it! They ride great!
