I happen to have a very nice tank and panel set. They've been resprayed in red, but the colour isn't quite right, and he's used the wrong year of side panel decals. There are one or two minute bubbles in the tank paint, too. So for a proper restoration, they need complete refinishing again. But to smarten up a tatty bike, they'd be perfect. I've got them listed to start on eBay on 1 August. For you, my son, I could stop the auction before it starts, if you want them. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools
