        @scrimsmustang Thanks for the link, sent request for purchase, you are a star, and this arrived in the post today.0_1503691687566_20170825_205023.jpg
        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

              @oldman @scrimsmustang is probably going to be your best bet for this one.

                  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 ?

                        @scrimsmustang Hello, apologies for the delay in replying, I emailed them in English and German, also spoke to them but couldn't communicate effectively. 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 hopefully0_1504795478356_1504795432029312195421.jpg

                          Those wheels look mint, you get them built using stainless spokes?

                              @oldman Pretty sure my genuine spokes held up very well.

                              They will no doubt dull, but they will still look great.

                                Look good, pleased with the result, spoke to my friend and he's back from holiday, dropping off Saturday to get the tyres fitted, bike will look strange off the stand!

                                  Delay with tyre fitting, could not find the rim tape anywhere, know I purchased but must have been distracted and stashed somewhere, more ordered so next weekend hopeful.
                                  Anyhoo, updated pics with grey seat and red gators.0_1505038568599_20170910_111407.jpg 0_1505038623315_20170910_111427.jpg 0_1505038681725_20170910_111506.jpg

                                    Progress! Tyres fitted tonight with thanks to my friends who stayed put to do them despite a 4am start tomorrow for them. Looking forward to getting them on the bike and off the stand at last.0_1505339364998_20170913_220654.jpg

                                          Is that the original colour of seat cover? Very nice result 👍
