Thanks James decided to buy new rim and spokes, even the caliper is wrong on mine the bolts are on the back not so easy to pinch.

Hope so the only bits I need and to be fair is the exhaust heat shields and as I do not carry anyone not urgent so wait and see repros seem to a reasonable price.

I may have dodgy eyesight but I can see the side panel badges are the wrong way round. ;)
Now you know it will bug the hell out of you I know because mine were the same and it drove me mad until I swapped them. ;D
I may have one brand new heat shield with a tiny mark on it you can have it if I can find it.
