Can't remember the model, I took measurements of what was needed and looked around a breakers.
There seems to be 2 types, [1988 to 1996?] each with different bends, but the pedal rubber ending up in the same position.
They are pressed steel so can be bent to suit.
CG 125 fit as well.
I have seen the better cast aluminium ones fitted, but don't know what from.

Cheers, I'll have a look at the local breakers for one.

Yes, there should be a rubber seal around the headlight to stop the light from bleeding back into the cockpit at night time.
Quite a few people have had success cutting up bicycle inner tubes and glueing them together to form a seal similar to the oem one.

Those Chinese rads are usually no problem - depending on how they have positioned the brackets you may have to trim the fairing slightly, also check for full-bump clearance between the bottom edge of the upper radiator and the front mudguard/tyre.
The pipework in your pics is a Japanese aftermarket half system using the OE front cylinder downpipes - neither the welded on heatshield nor the can are original to that system, I think...
