It'll be better than money in the bank if the panels are good. Ive just been looking at the pre painted panels from tyga, they look really good and certainly cheaper than painting it yourself. Aslong as you dont get stung for import tax too much its a cheap option.

I was looking at tyga's site the other day and they now do the pre painted panels in the original RR colours with the white RVF. That's very tempting now.

Right there's been a big change in direction since my last post. I've bought another RVF with much lower milage and I'm going to be putting this one back to almost the condition it was in when I bought it and selling it on. It'll have a few nicer bits on it than when I got it but the really trick stuff will be saved for the newer bike.

The downside is that I spent ages collecting original new fairing and body work panels for the bike with was an RR, the new one is an RT so now I have to decide what to do with all the new bodywork I've collected. I'll probably just use it on the new bike and sell the bodywork from that one.

This is the latest panels to arrive from Japan.

Man, those look brand new!

They are :-)

The only panels I have that aren't brand new are the tank and the nosecone. All the rest is brand spankers.

Can I ask where you found what look to me to be new oem panels, Japan I know from your post but where?

I need a couple of new panels (OEM) but for the later RVF scheme..... Care to share your source please?

Cheers
