Wow - looks totally different without the horrid fairing & legshields.

Still needs a big flat lens headlight rather than what looks like a Superdream pattern one.

Nice looking bike.

I had to look twice. Thought it was a V50.

Me too!

That's you from yesterday! I'm going to post it on the covid 19 thread and share my disgust in somebody pretending to go out for essential travel.
Either that or I might post something on the other st threads that seem to dominate biker banter these days

[hiccy18]

Bit hard to post a good thread tbh, wanna see a pic of a dusty bike?

Keep up the good work lads, makin me smile even if the pics are 30 yr old

Not sure where you are location wise but I used a gent under the name of Bernie's Custom Studio a couple of years back for my R1. Did an excellent repair on my belly pan, nose cone and 2 side panels and repainted the fairing afterwards and including some vinyls on top it was a £300 bill.

Only downside is he is a 1 man band meaning it was about 6 months to have them turned around as he is always fully booked! In fairness to him he did have some personal issues at the time as well so 6 months may have been more than usual.
He's on Facebook but his number is 07831 194230

I'm sure he said he accepts people posting them to him as he's in North Dorset

Thank you very much appreciate the info, 6 months would be do able as its just a project to use next year and stop the current boredom factor reaching 11

Is there a prize for the amount of times you can wheel the bike out, polish it and put it back in the garage?

Lovely bike, and I especially love the colour.

I take it you've had a chat with Phil Holme re the fairing trim? Mark Cordwell at Derby has a great reputation and he did a lovely job on my belly pan which was badly cracked, I know he is working at the moment too .
