      That's the exhaust on and the rack fitted, looks better with the rack imho! Lack of wheels a serious p### off now, can't think of anything else to do, desperate to get on the road.0_1503158706613_20170819_164109.jpg 0_1503159029032_20170819_164219.jpg

              Thats a sweet bike, I think for anyone to restore a Red one would be difficult to find the plastics. Fowlers would laugh at you If you tried to order them.

                  Its because the Red is a one year only colour from 1990, you might find the od new piece here and there. It took me 2 years to find a full set in Purple because of the same thing one year only 1991 colour. The Red plastics and tank I have I got from someone on the old forum, save for the tank and headlamp cowl I got from ebay years ago. Best thing to do is google the part numbers. I have brand new sets with decals for 88 in Blue 89 in White 88 and 89 in Black 90 in Red

                    Thanks, will try that, the red is eye-catching and want to stick with it. Just picked up a nos cowl so that's one off the list

                                  Not sure if this helps,don't forget a good spray shop could get the right red

                                    @oldman Maybe you could get this bike cheap, keep the panels and anything else you want, break the bike and sell the rest as parts for spares???

                                        @louis-james That's Team Phillipe dude, so not originals. They would however be better than old knackered ones for-sure. 😉
