ebay ones are about £400 i think, or if you can bring yourself to splash out, Honda will make you some OEM ones for about £1000
my fav was the RWB from '91, or the black/silver one from ..(??)
There are two black and silver ones, The Type2, Type4, the Type2 has white wheels. £1,000 :o I think I will keep my ones. Thanks for your help.

RWB panels (type1) are nice but everyone wants them so i'm bored to tears of them, the type 3/4/5 styling float my boat with the triange design really suiting the shape, but the darker the scheme the more i like it, so type 2/4/5/7 are top of my list,plus i really like coloured wheels so type 5/7 look the ticket to me
Thanks for your advice mate, we need all the Types around if they are all the Type1 RWB then it would be a bit boring :whistle:

I agree with Rhory, the rarest and nicest scheme the type 1 has become so sort after everybody wants them or has got them, they have become a bit everyday boring. Ive got a type 2 a type 3 and a type 5. I think they are a really good mix of colours. Dark, white and red! Its all down to taste in the end i suppose.

cheers tony, this accually made me laugh out loud...

Kris' bike is really lovely, the only thing i'd change is black/dark graphite fork legs and as said polishers bike with black frame and red wheels would look wicked
