Pretty sure that it was Simon (SPR) who bought a kit from Italy (It might have Busso - ceased trading?) he fitted them to his 500 - it came in several parts iirc.

Post by: Honda enthusiast on September 02, 2024, 12:39:26 PM: Thanks folks, my tank has a plastic all in one shaped trim, I was just thinking of something more original looking but it looks like the steel clips could cause problems just like the original....At Â£100 it's debatable whether to go for it, but I'll look into the Italian Mold Studio...

What do you think of the quality,Julie

Cheers all

Hubert

Post by: Nurse Julie on September 02, 2024, 01:21:57 PM: Excellent quality Hubert. Wether it's worth the Â£100 ++ price is debatable but it's the closest look to OEM available at the moment and it's a nice finishing touch for those that want as close to original as they can get.

Post by: Honda enthusiast on September 03, 2024, 06:56:01 PM: I also think a tad expensive, Julie but I'm going to buy a set from Mauricio as he's offered to knock 20 Euros off the price.... you're right it's the closest to original and I understand CMS are selling them for a lot more..

Cheers for all the info folks 👍

Yes, I had a good deal with Mauricio. I bought mine when the product was first launched.
