Beat you to it :) got mine 3 weeks ago for £40 on EBay. They were sprayed todayand look the DBs.

Couple of tips:

Ebay is your best bet they come regularly around £30 each side
Worth taking a look rather than go on pics
Unless they are dire Q bond will fix cracks and even rebuild mountings
You can get a new fixing kit from robinsons foundry
Paint from rs paint
Do the prep yourself but get a pro to spray them

Cost for mine

Fairings £40
Q bond £12
Filler £5
Wet and dry paper 240 grit £5
Paint 500ml each of base and colour £105 (mine were pearl lively yellow)
Spray and laquer £150

So it ain't cheap but they look fantastic

Hope that helps

How far did that 500ml of Paint go? Like how much of the bike could you do with that?

[myfirstsv]

500ml did both fairings and a real seat replacement cowl with two layers 2 layers of base coat and two of colour. That was on top of 2 layers of primer.

There was enough left over for a spray on the inside (just)

[leebex]

£105 of spray!!! 400ml cans are generally about £11 each from a paint mixer/supplier

cost me about £45 max in paint to do 2 lowers and both traingular pieces below the riders seat.

(I used dupli color rattle cans for the primer and clear coat, bit cheaper at £4 a can)

[myfirstsv]

Tis a fair point.

The but is that the bike (2002) is a genuine:

1 careful 60 year-old owner from new
Only 10k on the clock
Serviced whether it needed it or not
Never seen rain
Always been garaged
All the paperwork you could ever dream of
Immaculate (but we all say that about our bikes)

I wasn't prepared to risk a dodgy colour match beacuse that wouldn't have done justice to the bike.

Anyway it's only money that would needlessly have been wasted on food for the children :)
