Like the bike cover Mr B! Proper fast colours they are :shock: :wink:

Hey sounds like I've had lots of your guests too, it's that time of year when they just turn up unannounced and walk straight in... Only to then need a lift home! (well I couldn't last night because I had had a few myself ..hohoho) :lol:

It's too quiet on here .. We need some more shiny KR-Porn to wake us all up 8) :lol:

Just got a NOS rear seat cover (to go with the front one I already
have) \:D/
Image

All I need now is to find a good upholsterer to fit them :)

Can anyone confirm the standard finish of the boss that fits through the front seat pad (the one the fixing bolt goes through)?

Cheers
Bernie :)

Had a look at my seat boss, rust is the finish I have :lol:

The nut underneath has a small bit of green finish left on it.

I am sure you will get a more useful reply soon :D
I used to be undecided, but now I am not so sure.

If the standard finish is rust & green, it looks like I don't need to do anything :)

Top the same but uniform cover like a large coated washer :wink:

Do you think it is an electroplated finish, some sort of a passivate?

Looks more like an electroplated finish to me, rather than paint.
How OEM do you want it Mr B ?

Hi Shaun,
I am looking for the same level of durability, actual colour/finish is a secondary consideration :)

I am on the road next week, so I intend to call in at a few platers to see what they can do.
I want to do something with the side stand bracket, as it is steel and I don't want a painted bracket. (bright zinc or hard chrome) not sure yet.
I will call in at Philpots, can anyone suggest any other good platers?
Cheers
Bernie :)
