Just bought a set of rothmans Chinese plastics for £190 delivered have asked the seller to supply a set minus the race numbers on the tail panels hopefully they will arrive as per instruction.

Will post pics when they arrive . Of course I don't expect them to be flawless and fit like originals but these are going on a rebuild project allowing me to keep my stock of original panels intact.

Why do I have visions of them turning up with a - sign infront of the number? ;-)

Just checked the ebay listing again and it's jumped from the £190.27 buy now price I paid yesterday to £309.00 today . Me thinks someone has fukd up when putting the original listing on and forgotten to add the loony postage charges.

I had a set before on a bike as a temporary fix but later sold them on when I picked up some good originals. Tbh was never entirely happy with them they could fool the man in the street walking his dog past but no one else in the know :sshh: only went for them again as the bike they are going on is being built from spares anyway.

£190, i read that and thought I would get some for that money, but alas, seems you had a bargain as the prices have all returned to normal. :(

190 is probably about right for what you get for your dosh 300+ import tax too much for them would rather spend a few hundred more getting original panels painted up.

No import duty seller marked value at 80 usd not had chance to check all the panels but paint on the ones I looked at looks good and arrived minus the 30 on the tail panels as instructed :smile: box also contained two silly neon tyre valve light things got rid of them by putting them on a mates trailer :lol:

Don't know where/who yours came from but I have a set of these on my No2 bike and with a bit of fettling (don't expect them to just slot on) you can certainly get a very passable finish IMHO..
