Be grateful if you report back when the seat unit arrives......interested in quality of finish and fit obviously.

Cheers

The nose cone its self is from Ricambi Weiss in Germany. They have an Ebay store. The original mould appears to have been taken from an OE strada nose cone. I dont know if they speak english as all of the emails I received where in German - but I just copied them into a translation program. They were also very prompt with their delivery. The over all shape and panel fit (to my original Strada panels) is very good and if all of their panels fit this well I would definately recommend them. You do however have to drill all of your own holes and that is very time consuming as the panel moves slightly when you do each screw up - it basically took me a whole week end to fit to the bike and mark out and drill the screen holes. The surface of the panel does need some filling before painting, but considering these are almost certainly intended as race panels its pretty good really. I do intent to refit the original nose cone at MOT time - it only takes about 20 mins to change them over.
I'm very happy with the results, I wish I could say I painted it myself, but this was done professionally.
