Those nice chaps at RP sent me another one so I could try again, and this time I have made it fit with only a few minor mods.

I have still had to cut a slot in the bottom for the exhaust, but I can see that the fibreglass has "slumped" along the bottom and hardered like that so if it was in the intended shape it would have been OK. I cut a slot for the sidestand this time instead of hacking a section away, having measured the dimensions of the original one relative to the floor and the rear axle.

It is still a bit tight around the oil cooler, where the Dzus fastener rivot touches, but it is possible to get it all together.

Once you are happy with what you have done, why not pop it down to dave at H.C.Racetech ( just outside lincoln)

He will make a mould from it & hey presto you have a replacement that will fit first time
