    Found a bargain GB racing Pulse cover, brand new in the sealed bag on eBay, £30 and Free postage.:)
    20240401_180956.jpg Got an alternator GB racing cover for the other side ordered, another bargain at £62 brand new.
    Not bothering with the clutch cover, its set far enough back and the pulse cover protudes far enough out thats i dont see how it could ever come into contact with the deck! o_O

    I thought you'd get the wheels painted back to the original colour once you'd realised it was a mistake not just sell it!!! ;)

    Cheers Brad, no i definitely won't be changing the wheel colour! I was looking at the anniversary red and white one but that has gold wheels so opted for the 'iconic' blue as its called!

    The very last new R1 (ordered) that will ever be sold by Hunts Yamaha!!!

    The owner managed to order three.......
    One for himself to keep in his man cave....
    One for Andrew Irwin, who he sponsors.....
    And I'm having the third and last one ever ;)
