Watching this thread with interest as I'm seriously considering the grey and white Repsol set from Neverland.
Ok the update & final. Had some spare time this weekend & finally got round to fitting the Repsol kit. It took me around 10 hours to strip the standard kit then get the new one on. It wasn't straight forward but not a nightmare, most of the kit lined up very good and the only mods I had to make was opening the holes for the brake line brackets each side of the mudguard & open out the hole one side for the rear light in the seat. Fitting the rear seat was very nerve racking stretching it over the subframe, I was sure it was gonna go crack.... luckily it didn't. The front fairing & especially the infill panels were a bugger to locate and get those crappy honda plastic fasteners in but got there with patience. All in all for £320 including customs charge I'm very happy indeed. I'm sure in time the paint will get marked & chipped more so than the std kit & paintwork but the kit is worth every penny. The panels are flexible enough to manipulate the fit and about the same thickness as the originals. Q: Would I order another kit from Neverland?, the answer is 100% yes !! If a set of spare wheels go cheap somewhere I will purchase them to paint orange otherwise for now I might try orange rim tape. Sorry about the naff pictures but it was late tonight and used my camera phone. If you have any questions about kits & info I am happy to help.
looks the part. you could get a paint shop to throw on some extra coats of lacquer to make sure they dont mark easy. im sure it wouldnt cost that much to do.
The bloke I bought my pc3 from yesterday has a set of wheels and tyres for 350 if you interested? Let me know i will send you details
Looks good mate, I'd keep the wheels black I like the look. Also why not get the fairing covered in ventureshield, I started a thread yesterday about it as I'm looking at it.
Thanks mate, but I am going to wait a while to make my mind up on options for either keeping wheels black, buying SP2 wheels or going the extra mile and get multispoke galespeed wheels.
I think the black wheels go well with the lower side fairing. You'd never know it wasnt a factory job, but if youre worried about stonechips then you could try ventureshield, or search ebay for bumper protection film and cut the shapes yourself.
I believe SP2 wheels are a direct fit apart from changing the front bearings which have a smaller internal diameter, but none the less very easy to fit. However that said SP2 wheels do seem to fetch good money. There was a set of RR6 wheels on eBay that went for £168 for the pair in top condition, kicking myself that I missed the bidding !!
Gutted! I looked for 2nd set for ages but just go for too much money, would really love a nice lightweight fancy set but just can't justify spending half the value of the bike on just wheels
I'm not sure although I think NO, the offset on the front rim is alot different, disk spacing etc. I have researched using RR8 wheels on my RR4 before and it's a no from what I have found, hope this helps.
Ive been looking at this company on ebay and this has just made my mind up. great post and update. cheers
