So thats the tale. The current situation is our supplier has promised to rectfy things to our satisfaction.

Cheers, let us know if everything turns out alright.

I've given up on the idea of trying to get a Poly26 after all the hassle that the good Doctor (and others) have had, so I've just ordered a JMV one. It's unpainted, but I should be able to find someone local to do it.

Nice, but maybe not quite as good looking as the Poly26. Trouble is, they have to order it from France and everything there shuts down for August, so I'm not likely to get it until mid-September.

Nice one cheers! Seems like a bit of hassle to get it though?

I like the look of that JMV one. Any details for them please?

JMV web site is http://www.jmvconcept.fr, though it's in French.

UK Distributor is Rhencullen

c'est combien pour le Bas de carénage? c'est tres bon!

I think the JMV is a good alternative and was my other choice. It as good, IMO.

Just thought id let all you guys know as i was one of the ones that was originally interested in the poly26 pan aswell. i got my bellypan a few months ago also through the finish supplier. He is excellent by the way.

I ordered the silver one from him so he painted it aswell, and i have to say the service was great in my experience very quick. The colour match was also spot on.

The only few negative comments about the bellypan are this, the finish on the outside could be better, this is actually caused by the making process of using fibreglass though, the finish on the inside is also a bit raw we shall say, you can see the fibres etc. And one more thing you may find that the ground clearence may could be an isuue, i have found that conering quik with a pillion causes the pan to touch down occasionally.

Any way thats me done, time to go to the lord derby.

ride safe.

SVSilver, do you think your is a genuine Poly26. What do you think of the photo comparing the finsih of the two pans?
