    This arrived today from sunny Portugal. Found it on ebay from a company called Extreme Carbon.......it was listed as £40 or best offer plus £9 postage. Offered £30, they counter offered £35......I duly accepted.

    Quality is excellent and at half the price of others on ebay it was a no brainer. Hopefully the fit is as good and my initial thoughts aren't wasted.

    www.extremecarbon.eu

    Ebay Seller ID is cristiano_oliv

    Highly recommend

    Will be replacing the extreme carbon sticker with a HRC one....naturally!

    Looks good. I thought you'd sourced an original from one of the forum members? Can't blame you for buying this though - 100% better. Can't write any more as I have to do some serious tail box cleaning;).

    Perfect Ricky. ........although I recently fitted a 55 profile rear tyre and it was perilously close to touching the hugger so I built it up slightly with a couple of M6 plastic washers. Worked a treat, can even get a tyre warmer under it!

    Okay Ricky. Now here's the important stuff. If you choose to affix an HRC decal, DON'T put it on backwards as @PauloHRC did (below). :rolleyes:

    You read them from the back, not with your head jammed between the rear wheel and shock absorber!!

    So.......I've been desperately searching for an image of a Honda Rcv moto gp machine with the HRC upside down as you call it!

    If you notice in Moto gp, you sometimes get a camera shot from somewhere under the seat unit, maybe the camera is mounted near the rear shock......
    Anyway from that camera angle the HRC logo most certainly wouldn't be upside down, it would in fact be right reading. I'm sure the mighty HRC did this for a reason, I simply copied it!

    I'm not sure current machines have the logo at all, it's from a couple of seasons ago I think.......I was just going for authenticity!

    Everything for a reason Nige......everything for a reason!:D

    I’m thinking of going for the small white Honda racing sticker instead of the hrc one

    This could be lucrative for your mate, Ricky. There is one guy on here who has purchased most of eBay's HRC decals. I've purchased some also. There is always a demand for 'Honda' decals for bellypans, and he might also get a rare request for a Repsol decal.

    Just bought some of these on ebay in white for my new matte black bodywork. All sizes and all colours available. I already have some in black that look nice down the sides of a clear screen! Price is for 2.

    HONDA bellypan and HRC decals already in my 'sticker draw' awaiting my attention! :D

    Holy crap! Am looking at the footpeg to brake lever distance; you wear a size 18 boot?

    Exhaust looks great. I should have gone with Austin.:(
