No time spent so far on the carbs due to other commitments. I am still awaiting for some nice new decals for the laser reprinting option. These are in backorder at CMSNL. Also, contacted Paul at tyga for a new RR/RT painted kit, but sadly are not on stock at the moment due to delays at their painter. Carbon kit is discontinued. Also contacted the local tyga subdealer, but he faces similar issues and nothing on stock at the moment. Newish or good solid genuine panels not many around. Might consider now the silhouette route.

Why cant you buy new from dss?

Pretty sure they don't have a full set left.

Go with silhouette jas, you know it makes sense

Few panels are now discontinued by the big H. Have few panels spare but not complete. Kept these for the mint RVF I have. The other lady is still naked.

I know Tony...it makes sense and sensible for my wallet.

By the way, also considered replica wrap-ups (close to grand euro) and even nice replica spray job (a grand euro) for an nice unpainted kit but that route costs way more and not the desired effect.

Ah rite , i had a look and it said limited stocks on the seat pannels so i assumed you would be able to still get them but have to wait a while longer .

Kind of makes me not want to use the new that i have .

Today spent my time at the national motorcyle fair at Utrecht. Suprisingly abba stands from the UK was present with shared space with local trader. Spoke to Alan Burdett himself, nice bloke. Most visitors did not know their products nor have seen these abba stands in real. I bought mine direct from Alan some years ago. Now I have purchased his extention kit for the front wheel fork lift-up. Basicly for the single sided swingarms like the NC30/35's a simple pin into the rear axle with be able to use this lift-up extention. He is able to get them in the same materials and finish like the adaptors but I already have some spare pins so for me no need for these pins from abba.

Lift-up extension kit is pretty similar to this one:


Also, another one that got my attention was HEL Mobile also from the UK. I spoke to John Arthur who is their official track side support and I bought some small brake parts from him. I do have his details so might be handy for later.

Also bought a couple of 1/12 scale models of the V4 NSR500's to fill space in my cabinets.

Got some backordered genuine honda parts delivered to me today...




Reminds me that three out of total of nine genuine NC35 labels are discontinued. Next step with these is that I need to get them in superb digital ready for further processing via industrial laser print.

A full silhouette kit?

Nah, I went for painted RT kit and a few carbon bits.

Silhouette is not a no-go, but I had to postpone this option for now due to other commitments that also needs time/cash etc.

By the way, a genuine spare castrol WSB rc45 racer that I know off is not in this country anymore, but is reallocated to S-A in a private collection. Too bad, as I wanted to shoot some pics. Also the desmocedici he had is now sold. Next week going to visit him as he told me yesterday that has a couple of more wsb road/racers stored.

The bikes mentioned are shown in pic below in the top left corner on crates..
