My speedy is the EFI and an 08 model, for those that do not know they come with the tapered upper shrouds which are a bit of a bugger to get a screen to fit. Anyway I have fitted them and had no problems Now do I go ahead and get the top yoke powdercoated Ray(UK)

I once had an old Triumph 500 frame coated in satin black for only £35 including the sandblasting...

It might be cheaper for me to post the parts on to him and have get them powder coated down near you. The guys want £80-00 quid to do it up here. Its a rip off.
