A lovely 1400 Barmy,

I love that belly pan that you had fitted.

I need to polish to polish your old cans after looking at those pics.

Cheers,
Rick

Indeed Neil, in many ways I regret dismantling and selling the old girl, as much as I love my new Explorer, she hasn't got the same charisma as my old 14 had - but go it had to on the advice of the docs (due to my back/neck issues) to get something more upright with wind protection (hence the Explorer). If I could have afforded to keep her I would have, but what with retiring at the same time - cash just wasn't there.

Then again - over 10 years of 14 riding and modding - I can't complain. And in some respects she is still about - over many orgsters bikes  :onya:

Maybe one day I'll start again....who knows  :cheesy:

In the meantime  :drool: :smitten:

That was a bellypan done by Espace (French company) - I think they may have gone under as I can't find one available for sale now - that one I purchased off another member and resprayed it - very nice 'pan, what I liked about it was the stainless section at the front to stop stone chips (which had been the problem on my previous 2 pans).
