At the front of the headstock tube, you may have to turn the forks to the side to see. If that black paint is thick powder coating it may be covered

Okay thanks. Here's hoping it's still legible. But with your initial response it's likely to be a 02. 

 

Cheers

It all points to an 02 but i wouldn't worry too much 01-05 they only changed colours and stickers, MRS will know exactly what's compatible between the years

Ideal thanks.

The original frame numbers where hard to see in the chrome so if there's any thickness of paint it will be impossible to see. If you want to wait i can send a picture tomorrow of where exactly it is on my 03 and you can scrape some of the paint off ?

He guys. 

 

A wee update. I got the bike. Absolutely love it. It needs a few wee jobs doing. Mainly tarting it up a little. Thanks for your help

Sorry for the delay, here's the exact location on my 03 incase you decide to scrape the paint off and want to keep it to a minimum. I really wouldn't worry on the exact year however
