It’s not anything I’ve come across before - and is definitely the same profile as original.

Julie - believe it or not I don’t own a magnet !!

I’ve attached a close up - it does look like a metal piece sandwiched between the outer clear plastic.

Be interesting to see how you find they fit them Simon - if they turn out great I will be asking for a link for the seller.
Trust you are recovering well from your recent heath trauma - just take it easy your body was giving you a warning.

Yep ... taking it easy was never a strong point in my makeup .... but am trying

I'm tempted with those Italian Mold Lab replicas. I'm just waiting to see them up close and personal fitted to someone's bike before I buy a set.

I was having exactly the same thoughts .... then thought bugger it :)

All pieces seem handed and moulded individually ... and there is a very slight difference in shape in the front bottom two pieces - if that makes sense

There are 15 clips so I'm presuming 3 per piece

I've a few jobs today but if I get chance I'll have a look at fitting

Nothing really to report other than getting out and about on the bike.

I did however pick these up







I must say the quality looks superb and all pieces are formed / shaped to the tank profile ..... the proof of this will be in the fitting

Even the external clips have the notch in like the originals

Will report back after fitting

I have been looking through a ton of youtube vids on setting points and most of them are well off. This seems to be a good guide but, there is quite a few cuts, like the plate seems to move on its own at 7.20. Hope it helps >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3933ouJ1wrI&t=924s

Thanks Graham ...... Mine aren't perfectly set so will have a go using this

Out on mine today, first outing this year. Dry roads, no wind, not too cold and no salt, what more cold you want?  :) (Attachment Link)

They are multiplying :)

Is that Harleshorpe Dam,  Mapperly Reservoir or Ironville Pool in the background?

None of those Ted - Just a small boating lake at Stubbing Court Wingerworth :)

That looks like rust - not micro blistering ...... full strip / prep / repaint

It could be micro blistering where moisture gets under the paint .... very difficult to get rid of as it essentially means the paint has become porus.

You could test the theory by using a hairdryer to warm the area to see if the blistering reduces ... or leave it out in the sun on a hot day
