Anyway now I've got your attention and without trying to bore you too much........I bought this bike last October from a guy in Nottingham (Don't think he was a club member). He is a M/Cycle mechanic and had rebuilt the bike. Unfortunately what he didn't tell me and what I didn't think to ask was that he hadn't done a re tighten of any bolt since the rebuild. Found this out when losing oil from all sorts of areas. Now sorted (apart from the cam cover). However I also lost on my last run the front left black fin that sits beneath the front fairing...(somewhere on the M6 between Birmingham and Leicester...if anyone is passing that way). Need another....not too bothered about any grammatical or spelling issues in your replies.

I just found about 5 pairs as I have been emptying my old caravan/winter workshop to move into my freshly painted (white!) garage :lol:

If anybody wants some fins drop me a pm and I will sort them in about a week when i've put everything away properly in the garage.

£6 a pair posted as before - thats what they cost me to make -

Reminder these are cast resin and not rubber, but are identical size /shape and bolts to the rubber ones, a bit of satin black makes them look identical.

Hey Russ, sorry I've not collected my fairing etc off you yet. Hope they're not taking up room you need. If you need some space we could try the club courier system mate. I'm not in any rush but I thought you might be and as I'm not mobile at the moment I'm sure we can sort something if needs be.

My next job is to get the mould off your fairing. . . . . .always got to put that one off ! :oops:

As soon as its done I will ship your fairing and fins along with the new fairing and fins one back to you ;)

I'd not forgotten where they came from ! they are looking in better shape now, primed and flatted ready for the mould.

Never thought you'd forgotten Russ. Just thought it worth a mention as you seem to be filling up with stuff at the moment. Not that I've got anywhere to put them when you do send them back (hence the lack of rush on my part :D ).
Cheers mate.

Sorry for hijacking the thread Jerry.

Another reminder, Russ. I'm still waiting for mine... :roll:
