I bought one of these from SG Petch last year. It's a complete kit with the new foam boot inserts and all tools etc.

Need to remember this price is ex VAT though so it's actually another £70-odd to buy. That caught me out at first!

I got the spare wheel kit as I had a puncture shortly after buying my Sport NAV.
I am pretty sure it has cost me a lot in extra fuel as the wheel is heavy. My consumption is around 36 mpg but I am going up and down hills all the time, not to mention bursts of speed which would be illegal in the UK. Too tempting when you have clear roads and no limit!

There is no speed limit in the Isle of Man except where marked, but the fastest section of road is the Mountain section of the TT course. It has been used by Top Gear in the past.
