Received call today about my wheels, rear complete but front spokes still to arrive from Yamaha, so 50% success I guess

@scrimsmustang Thanks for the link, sent request for purchase, you are a star, and this arrived in the post today.
Also been looking for grey seat/cover but the ones I have seen all look darker than the sales brochure pics. Can you recommend someone to supply?
Thanks again, very much appreciated -

Looks pretty light
Thats the same as the ones I used on my Red and Purple ones. They are OK but the writing is Black on a Purple one.

Seat cover ordered, at a loose end waiting(still) for my wheels, thought I would start on the white 89. Sidestand bent so thought I would whip that off to straighten out. Bolt loose (I thought) and removed sidestand, after straightening went to refit and thread shot in sidestand, hence the loose bolt. Wonder what else I will find?

Did you get any joy with the Red panel in Switzerland ?
You have a White 89

Going to try again next week with an interpreter! German speaking friend of a friend. Have also found panels elsewhere listed 2 x scoops and mudguard, ordered and hoping they are correct (stock nos match) received the 1990 decals and grey seat cover and picked up my wheels today YAAAAAAY, if my friend back from holiday hope to have tyres fitted this weekend. Also received vehicle history from DVLA, sold in London first, went to Dunstable, back to London, then surrey, back to london, and then to me. Colour change registered 26.05.91 and new engine 06.09.91, never paid much attention as frame ends in 01459 and engine 00540, so somewhere there is an engine that matches my frame no. Is the engine no early production? Not sure how the vin nos work. Busy weekend fitting seat cover, red fork guards and getting tyres done hopefully

@calum No unfortunately, genuine yamaha, will have to be scrupulous keeping them clean and dry!
