Aye, identical nose to mine and I reckon it is the type that Rick maks copies of (or was the original, I do not know)

Like it...good scheme too..I'll take it off your hands if you really don't want it! :whistle:

:plus: It does look like one of RO....remember the endurance shape and the slight more width on the mid front sides...

Im not sure im going to use the seat unit with this nose, really doesnt suit it IMO. I need a replica TT-F3 one :pray:

The seat unit isnt quite the same shape as the tyga ones but its exactly the same as the silhoutte units yet isnt black on the inside. Excellent quality and very light, no decals either its all paint and done quite well pre-neglected.

Paintjob sugestions on a postcard ;)

I read a good few reports on that a while back, it's a couple of bikes if I recall, bit of one, bit of the other?! :grin:

Taken from Wiki:
The motorcycle in the pilot episode was based on a 1983 Honda XL500 trailbike. The motorcycles used in the series were based on 1984 Honda XR500s. The motorcycles used for the stunt shots were based on Honda CR250s. Overall, fifteen motorcycles were used in the show. The whereabouts of fourteen of these are unknown, but the fifteenth now resides in the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick, Cumbria, England, restored by stuntman Chris Bromham. The pilot motorcycle was designed by Andrew Probert and the series motorcycles were redesigned by Ron Cobb.

Keep the faith brother. :pray:

My Silhouette seat unit isn't painted black on the inside either and is also all painted rather than have decals; that paint scheme is from the RVF though, but it's definitely an NC30 unit!

OKI?

:lol: OKI, no kris has the OKI rep and theres no improving on that one.

I like the TT-F3 RWB scheme but im keeping my eye out for an odd ball suzuka scheme that no ones done yet :geek:

I compared that seat unit to my RVF tyga one today and its definatly a different weave on the inside, so could be silhouette then, bonus :grin:
