Tried that but it said it was too old or had been moved.

That should have been Tony Weale, but I couldn't edit it.

I was planning on making one after loosing patience with the full hood - this post just gave me the extra nudge I needed. Having no skills or experience in this area I'm not sure how best to make the pattern. Perhaps use the full hood as a template? Any tips would be great. I'm going with the material already recommended. Thanks, Nick

Hello, yes please, I'd be very happy to take that. PM sent. Nick

Heading from Westley to the A14 J42, Bury St Edmunds today - lovely!

In the end I just slid the 'clip' off the original blade, onto the new one and drilled a hole to take a M2.5 stainless cap head screw and nut with a dab of threadlock. Next time - if there is one - I'll get longer blades and cut down to suit.

Perhaps I should have bought the (longer) SV blades and trimmed down to suit?

Just received a pair or standard blades from Chris at Redline but the pivot is in the middle and the originals from 1997 are offset. The new ones won't work. Am I missing something or was the design of the blade/wipe arm changed at some point? I can modify without too much trouble, but thought I'd ask before reaching for the tool box.

Coloured gel coat - at least my BRG ones are. With the right light, you can see the brush strokes, along with all the star cracks.

Hello Paul, I'd like one, please (provided I can get to you or arrange collection). I'm still on my original 1997 tube. No outward signs of cracking, but that doesn't mean it's not about to let go. I presume it's the same buttress and damper mounting design. Thanks Nick

Would love a red Supersport one! PM me if you still have one. Thanks, Nick
